BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Top-seeded Andy Roddick survived a second-set collapse Sunday to win the Brisbane International title, beating defending champion Radek Stepanek after the Czech player double-faulted on match point.
The American's 7-6 (7-2), 7-6 (9-7) victory in the final capped his first tournament in nearly three months becaue of a 2009 season-ending knee injury.
Roddick nearly let the match slip away. He led 4-0 in the second set before Stepanek came back to take a 6-5 lead, with Roddick needing to hold service to force a tiebreaker.
