Wild-card entry Janko Tipsarevic rallied to beat sixth-seeded Bernard Tomic 5-7, 6-1, 7-6 (3) in the first round of the BMW Open clay-court tournament on Tuesday.
Top-seeded Andy Murray began his clay-court season with a routine 6-2, 6-2 victory over qualifier Mischa Zverev to reach the quarterfinals of the BMW Open on Thursday.
ANDY MURRAY was pushed all the way by Philipp Kohlschreiber but came through to win his first clay-court title at the BMW Open in Munich.
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 home favourite Kohlschreiber made sure it was not all easy-going for the world number three before Murray eventually recorded a 7-6 (7/4) 5-7 7-6 (7/4).
