Top-seeded Nikolay Davydenko recaptured the Warsaw Open title when he beat second-seeded Tommy Robredo 6-3, 6-3 in the final Sunday.

Davydenko won the clay-court tournament in 2006, and Robredo won it last year.

The Russian broke Robredo three times in the first set, while giving up his serve once. He needed just one break in the second, saving five break points en route to his third ATP title of the year and 14th of his career.

"Every single game was difficult," said Davydenko, ranked No. 4 in the world. "It was tough to win the first set. Robredo was running and fighting a lot. The last game was very tough as well and luckily I won the last point (with a smash)."

Davydenko, who conceded just one set on his way to the final, won in Miami in April and Poertschach, Austria, last month. He also reached the final in Estoril but had to retire with a leg injury against Roger Federer.

Robredo, of Spain, was trying to win his first ATP title since October.
