MUNICH, Germany -- Slovakian qualifier Martin Klizan defeated top-seeded Fabio Fognini 2-6, 6-1, 6-2 in the BMW Open final on Sunday for his second ATP World Tour title. Klizan left centre court briefly due to apparent stomach problems in the first set, but he rallied despite appearing to labour with continued difficulties to win in just under 90 minutes. He is the first qualifier to win an ATP World Tour title since Nicolas Mahut won the Topshelf Open in the Netherlands in June. The 24-year-old Slovakian had lost his last three meetings with Fognini but he defeated the 15th-ranked Italian in his only previous final, at St. Petersburg in October 2012. The 111-ranked Klizan defeated defending champion Tommy Haas in Saturdays semifinals, having already seen off the third-seeded and 2010 champion Mikhail Youzhny, as well as Denis Istomin - who knocked out two-time former champion Philipp Kohlschreiber - and Dudi Sela. "Hopefully hes doing better now than he was during the match," Fognini said in comments reported by news agency dpa. Asked if he thought Klizan had put on a show to throw him off, Fognini replied, "I think so. Lets see how many matches hes won in this manner at the end of the year."

The Mercedes chief has also backed the Briton to take his title fight with Nico Rosberg down to the wire.Hamilton slipped 33 points behind his Mercedes team-mate at Suzuka after Rosberg claimed his fourth win in five Grands Prix, with the Britons race again undone by a poor start from the front row. Hamilton takes blame for startDuring the Suzuka weekend the reigning champion came under fire from the British press for playing on his mobile phone during the Thursday drivers press conference and then deciding against answering questions in his usual post-qualifying press briefing.But Wolff, Mercedes head of motorsport, reckons Hamilton was not distracted by those off-track incidents.

Ive seen a Lewis in Malaysia that was really on a roll, dominating the weekend and then obviously we let him down with the engine failure, said Wolff. That was an easy one [win] for him to bring home. Lewis Hamilton drops back to eighth after a poor start in the Japanese GP. During the week he was okay and then all these things around the press conferences… whether that affects him or not, I dont think so because it is just not his priority I guess.I wouldnt bring it down to that that the start didnt go well because the racing was great afterwards. How he recovered was really exceptional.Japanese GP driver ratingsFor the first time this season, Hamiltons bid for a British-record fourth world title is out of his hands with Rosberg now able to finish second in all the remaining four races to become champion for the fiirst time.ddddddddddddBut although Wolff acknowledges Rosberg has a healthy points lead, he reckons the increasingly challenging situation will galvanise Hamilton. Mercedes Lewis Hamilton finished third in Suzuka, his horror start was due to a wheel-spin. Thirty-three points is a lot, but you can see how quick it goes from Malaysia, he said. This is still a mechanical sport.The way Nico tackles the championship, looking at each weekend as a singular event, has proved to be the right strategy for him. Equally, Lewis functions best when he is under pressure and when he has a target and I have no doubt this will be an intense fight to the end. It is far from over.Hamilton flew back to Europe from Japan with Wolff and Mercedes non-executive chairman Niki Lauda on Sunday night, but the Mercedes team boss said they would not be dissecting the events of Suzuka with Hamilton straight away. We need to calm down and find out what happened, regroup, added Wolff. In my learning from the last couple of years, 24 hours later things look completely different than they appear an hour after the race. So our main emphasis will be on building him up and just enjoying the ride home [from Japan].We have 10 days, its not such a rush like last week. Hes going to come back strong in Austin.Dont miss The F1 Reports review of the Japanese GP on Sky Sports F1 at 8.30pm on Wednesday evening.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier
