Robredo, seeded third, took the first set 7-5 but Monaco, who stunned favourite David Nalbandian in the semi -finals, broke twice in the second to set up a tantalising finale.

Despite Monaco's efforts, the 26-year-old Robredo - ranked 17th in the world - won the final-set tiebreaker 7-5 to claim his ninth career ATP title and his eighth on clay.
