Philipp Kohlschreiber.
World number three Zverev will be eager to improve on his first round
exit at last year's French Open after a composed display earned him
back-to-back Munich
trophies, and his seventh ATP title.
Three-time champion Kohlschreiber took a 3-2 lead in the
opening set in Munich but an energetic Zverev was quick to level the scores and
won three straight games to clinch the set.
The second set was played out in similar fashion as
Zverev outplayed his 34-year-old opponent with the score at 3-3 to win the
remaining games and retain an ATP title for the first time in his career.
The 21-year-old, who reached the semi-finals of the Monte
Carlo Masters in April, will continue his preparations for the second grand
slam of the year at the Madrid Open.
