Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany beat third-seeded Marin Cilic of Croatia 7-6 (10-8) 6-3 on Sunday to win the ATP Tour event in Munich for the second time.
Kohlschreiber, seeded fourth, also won the clay-court tournament in 2007. He saved seven of eight break points to capture his fourth title in his sixth ATP final. His previous title also came in Germany – last year’s Halle event.
“I improved from match to match, felt very well for the whole week and played good tennis,” Kohlschreiber said.
Kohlschreiber won E71,900 ($A92,500) in prize money and a BMW convertible worth E56,000 ($A72,000).
“I don’t really know what I should say. I don’t have as much experience of this as (Roger) Federer,” he said.
