Andy Murray’s first career title
Andy Murray won his first career title at the 2006 San Jose Open.
The British star, unseeded at the event, defeated Mardy Fish, Wang Yeu-tzuoo, Robin Soderling, and Andy Roddick to reach the final.
In the final, Murray faced third seed and two-time Grand Slam champion Lleyton Hewitt.
Despite falling behind early, Murray roared back to claim a 2-6, 6-1, 7-6 victory.
After winning the final, Murray said: “This week has been perfect for me. I played pretty solidly in all my matches, apart from a set-and-a-half against Robin Soderling.
“But I managed to come through that and this has been the best week of my life – it can’t get much better.”
