Sports Briefing | Tennis: Home Win for Philipp Kohlschreiber

Philipp Kohlschreiber won his sixth career ATP title by rallying to defeat the French qualifier Paul-Henri Mathieu, 2-6, 6-2, 6-2, on Saturday at the Generali Open in Kitzbühel, Austria. It was the first title in 15 months for Kohlschreiber, who lives in Kitzbühel. Overcoming a slow start, Kohlschreiber dropped just three points on serve in the second set and used two more breaks to win the last four games of the final set.

u25a0 Kei Nishikori rallied to beat Marin Cilic, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, in the Citi Open semifinals in Washington in their first match since Cilic beat Nishikori in the United States Open final last year.
