Nikoloz Basilashvili captured his fifth ATP Tour title on Sunday, winning the BMW Open without dropping a set in five matches. The fifth-seeded Georgian -- who looked absolutely overjoyed by his accomplishment -- got off to a fast start and came through a 30-minute rain interruption en route to beating seventh seed Jan-Lennard Struff of Germany 6-4, 7-6(5) over 86 minutes in the Munich final.


In doubles, Kevin Krawietz teamed with Wesley Koolhof to beat No. 3 seeds Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen 4-6 6-4 10-5 in the Munich doubles final. Krawietz and Koolhof were playing together for the first time and made it all the way in their debut tournament.


And Albert Ramos-Vinolas moves up nine spaces to No. 37 by capturing his third ATP Tour title on Sunday, outlasting  Cameron Norrie in the Millennium Estoril Open final, 4-6, 6-3, 7-6(3).
