Sports Briefing | Tennis: Andy Murray Earns His First Title on Clay at the BMW Open

Andy Murray won his first clay-court title Monday by beating Philipp Kohlschreiber, 7-6 (4), 5-7, 7-6 (4), in the rain-delayed final of the BMW Open in Munich. The top-seeded Murray, who was in his first final on clay, is the first British man to win a title on clay since Buster Mottram in 1976.

u25a0 Serena Williams needed just 58 minutes to beat a fellow American, Sloane Stephens, by 6-4, 6-0 and reach the third round of the Madrid Open. The top-ranked Williams broke Stephens four times and saved both break points she faced to secure her 25th straight win.
