Jurgen Melzer successfully defended his Bank Austria Tennis Trophy title with a tough three-set victory Sunday over Andreas Haider-Maurer. Melzer, playing in the city of his birth, recorded a vital break when Haider-Maurer was serving for the championship in the second set, setting off a rally for a 6-7 (10-12), 7-6 (7-4), 6-4 win. It was Melzer's third career title. In addition to the 2009 Bank Austria championship, he won an event in 2006. Haider-Maurer was an unlikely finals opponent. He is ranked No. 157 and only entered the field when Ernests Gulbis dropped out for personal reasons. Haider-Maurer was just 2-6 in career ATP-level matches before running off four wins to get to Sunday's final.
