It was a great day for the Czechs. Czech Tomas Berdych managed to outlast Mikhail Youzhny of Russia to capture the BMW Open title 6-4 4-6 7-6(5). It is his first title of the year and his fifth career title. In addition to the title and 71,700 euros, Berdych also won a BMW Z4 Roadster. Not bad, for a week’s worth of work.

In addition to singles, Czech pair Jan Hernych and Ivo Minar upset second-seeds Ashley Fisher and Jordan Kerr of Australia 6-4 6-4. The title is their first title of their careers and first title together.

Max Mirnyi of Belarus and Andy Ram of Israel beat the Aussie duo of Ashley Fisher and Stephen Huss 6-7(4) 6-2 10-7 in the Sony Ericsson Open doubles final. Mirnyi and Ram, who are currently 10th in ATP Doubles Team Rankings, earned their second title together and first ATP World Tour Masters title. The duo almost won another Masters title in Indian Wells two weeks ago when they lost to Mardy Fish and Andy Roddick in the final.

The win was gravy for Belarus after Victoria Azarenka won the women’s singles championship title earlier in the day.
