Brown creates big upset

MUNICH (AP):

Second-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka was upset by German wild card Dustin Brown 6-7 (6), 6-4, 7-5 in the first round of the BMW Open yesterday.

Wawrinka, making his debut in Munich, was the only seed not to win his opener.

Born in Germany to a Jamaican father and a German mother, Brown lived in Jamaica and was ranked No. 123, 109 spots below Wawrinka.

Brown wasted an opportunity to serve out the match at 5-4, but broke Wawrinka's serve a fourth time to close it out.

Also through were third-seeded Marin Cilic of Croatia, No. 5 Florian Mayer of Germany, No. 7 Nikolay Davydenko and No. 8 Philip Kohlschreiber of Germany.

Cilic hit 11 aces past Simone Bolelli to beat the Italian 7-5, 7-6 (4). Theirs was a match of former finalists, Cilic last year and Bolelli in 2008.

Davydenko, one of three past champions in the field, beat fellow Russian Andrey Kuznetsov 6-1, 7-6 (4) and Kohlschreiber, the last local winner in 2007, routed Colombian qualifier Robert Farah 6-3, 6-1.

Mayer, Germany's highest-ranked player, won for the first time in four attempts in Munich with a 6-1, 6-2 defeat of Belgian qualifier Steve Darcis.
