The Andy Murray-Philipp Kohlschreiber Munich Final Has Been Postponed Until Monday

I hear there’s supposed to be rain in the Monday forecast as well, tho.

The organisers must be sick, as this will reduce the crowd. Monday is a holiday in the UK, but people will have to go to work in Germany.

Additionally, Andy will want to get this out of the way so he can prepare for Madrid.

oh, what a shame.

congrats, on the other hand, to fed and gasquet for their wins.

‘Quuen of Clay’ Angelique Kerber just lost in Madrid to Sam Stosur.

This is so unfortunate for both of the players who are about to meet again in Madrid’s second round. Andy doesn’t play the first round so he may have a bit of time to rest (??) but it’s not gonna easy for Philipp.

Am I the only one who finds the ATP website very badly organised? When you arrive at the main window, the Murray match has no games indicated, and it’s only when you click on “live scores” that you learn 5 games have in fact taken place.

The time has been pushed back to 11 AM local time, but that’s come and gone, so do I take it it’s still raining? With ATP it’s hard to be sure of anything.

Match is being played right now. Easier to just go to “www.flashscore.com/tennis/” for results etc

Well, what do you know – tennis. Looks like a good match, and Andy’s got the opening set.

Yes Colin – but he has lost serve in the second set – trying but tired …..

May 4th, 2015 at 6:19 am

Colin – Andy won – my goodness what a tight match!!!!

OMG dunno how Andy wriggled through that one because for 2 sets Kohls played much better. Only Andy’s serve kept him in! Lol to writing that one!
However, A ndy played a terrific tie in the 3rd.
First clay title! Yay!
Onwards and upwards to Madrid, where the big boys lie in wait.
Come on Andy!

I didn’t see the last couple of games in the match, as my connection broke down, but I’m very pleased for Andy. They were very well matched, and there was some high-class tennis on display.

Andy seems to have forgotten his back problem, and his serve was working well. When he misses a shot he snarls at himself, but then he gets on with it and doesn’t lose concentration.

On to Madrid, and I would expect another tight match between these two.

See U are there Margot – tight match – it was one of those matches when the important key points were won by Andy….and not bade eh – as Andy looked more tired (at times) than Phillipp.

@KatH
An excellent, tight match I thought too. And good for the crowd too, after miserable yesterday.
Andy was far too far behind that baseline at times, allowing Kohls to push him back, so lots for Jonas to work.
But positives too, serve much better, was coming forward more and shortening points and somehow has learnt how to do overheads :0

Great win for Murray and his first clay title. One less monkey of his back. Hope he can play freely in Madrid as conditions suits his game better there.

Fantastic final. High quality from both. Thank god for servebot Andy showing up. Many of those points were highlight reel quality. One of the matches of the year imho. And the bonus was seeing him in lederhosen.

And it must be said: Philip showed great sportsmanship – twice. He should be up for the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award but we know that’ll *never* happen. hehe

Anyway, lots for us Muzzfans to celebrate.

congrats to andy on the title; the scoreline suggests it was a cracker!

May 4th, 2015 at 10:13 am

Sounds like I missed an exciting match. Got up early enough but Tennis Channel was showing reruns of WTA Madrid – already watched that and ATP website didn’t even have a live score to follow.

Very happy to see he won a tough final on clay, in Munich against a tough opponent Kohlscreiber.

Well done Andy!!
