Andy Murray was pushed all the way by Philipp Kohlschreiber but came through to win his first clay court title at the Munich Open.
The 27-year-old was forced to wait for his maiden clay crown after rain ended hopes of the final being concluded on Sunday and the home favourite Kohlschreiber made sure it was not all easy-going for the world No3 before Murray eventually recorded a 7-6 (7/4) 5-7 7-6 (7/4) win.
Resuming with Kohlschreiber, seeded fifth in Munich, holding a 3-2 lead Murray fought back to take the first set on a tie-break – wrapping up the set with a fine cross-court backhand.
