Spaniard Carlos Moya defeated on Sunday Romanian Andrei Pavel to
win the Croatia Open for the fifth time at the Croatian seaside
town of Umag.
It took sixth-seeded Moya about one and a half hours to dispose
of Pavel 6-4, 6-2. The victory gave the 20th career title to the
former world number one, now ranked 20th. Moya also won here in
1996, 2001, 2002 and 2003.
"The tournament was very strong and I did not expect to win. I'm
very happy now," Moya said after the match.
Moya took home US$76,000 for his victory, his first title of the
year.
