Andy Murray won his first clay-court title when he overcame Philipp Kohlschreiber, 7-6 (4), 5-7, 7-6 (4), in the rain-delayed final of the BMW Open in Munich, Germany.

The final was rained out on Sunday, with former two-time Munich champion Kohlschreiber leading 3-2 on serve.

Murray was in his first final on clay and won his 32nd career title, a welcome boost ahead of the French Open — the second Grand Slam of the season that is played on clay.
