Third seed Novak Djokovic defeated unseeded American Mardy Fish with a 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 victory in the men's singles final match of the same tournament.
Djokovic was the tournament runner-up last year, losing the final to Rafael Nadal. He knocked off No. 2 Nadal in the semifinals this time.
It is Djokovic's ninth career title and comes two months after his Grand Slam win at the Australian Open.
The 20-year-old Serb seemed on his way to an easy victory after winning the first set and going up 4-2 in the second. But Fish came back to win five of the next six games and force a third set.
Djokovic broke Fish's serve in the second game of the final set, then each held serve the rest of the way.
