Andy Murray has said that becoming the first British player to win an ATP title on clay in almost 40 years is "an honour".
The Scot beat world number 24 Philipp Kohlschreiber in three sets earlier after Sunday's final at the Munich Open was postponed because of the weather.
Murray told Sky Sports News: "It was a really tough match, he served very close to the line and I was getting frustrated.
"The rain made things really tough, but as a Scot I'm used to that. It's been a hard couple of days, so I am very happy to have won, especially on clay.
"I didn't realise I was the first Brit to win on clay for so long, so that's obviously an honour."
Murray could face Kohlschreiber again in the second round of this week's Madrid Masters if the German gets past Alejandro Falla in his first match.
