Great to See Philipp Kohlschreiber Win Munich!

Philipp Kohlschreiber is one of my favorite players because of the sublime way that he plays - so it was great to see him contest the final of his home tournament, the Munich Open today.  It was actually a very close match between him and the equally talented Croat, Marin Cilic.  In the first set, they were tit for tat which ended in a tiebreaker which Kohlschreiber had to win in a very tight way.  I think it reached up to 9 points!

In the second set though, Kohlschreiber ran away, after the score 2-2, and although it ended at 62, it was still a very tight match and the score only indicated that Cilic was not able to break through in the crucial points.

I hope this improves Philipp's ranking so that he is assured a seeding in Roland Garros.  He reached the 4th round of Melbourne this year.  I think he can also achieve that in RG, if given a good draw!
