Briton Andy Murray's attempt to win a first clay-court title at the Munich Open has been delayed until Monday after rain stopped play.

The top seed was due to begin his final against German fifth seed Philipp Kohlschreiber at 12:10 BST on Sunday, but rain saw the start put back.

They finally made it into court at 16:23 only for the bad weather to return with Kohlschreiber leading 3-2.

The final is scheduled to resume at 10:00 BST on Monday.

Murray had to play two singles and one doubles match on Saturday after Friday's play was washed out.

The Scot, 27, is travelling with new coach Jonas Bjorkman for the first time this week.

Murray and Kohlschreiber have also been drawn to face each other in the second round of next week's Madrid Open and could play again on Wednesday.
