Top seed Andy Roddick won his first title of 2008 by beating Radek Stepanek in the final of the San Jose Open. The 25-year-old eased through 6-4 7-5 to seal his first ATP Tour trophy since August and his third San Jose victory.

“I’m happy with the way I played this week,” said Roddick. “Sometimes it’s about staying alive in a tournament and giving yourself a chance to play well.

“The more you play, the more comfortable you feel on court. I’m happy I found my form.”

The American broke Stepanek in the opening game of the match when the Czech missed a forehand volley and he was able to sit on the lead to take the first set.
