Rune saves four match points to win second straight Munich title
Holger Rune shrugged off injury and saved four match points in a dramatic third set fightback to defeat Botic van de Zandschulp and claim a second straight ATP Munich title on Sunday.
Rune prevailed 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (7/3) in a rematch of last year's decider in Munich which he won when Van de Zandschulp retired with chest pains when leading in the opening set.
Top seeded Rune took the first set comfortably but was blown away in the second.

However, Rune fought back, saving two match points to make it 5-3, then two more to force the tie-break despite twisting his ankle.
He then went on to dominate the tie-break to claim his fourth tour-level title.
