MUNICH, GERMANY, March 17, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Some of the biggest stars in men's tennis will be heading to Munich for the BMW Open next month.

The outdoor clay court tournament takes place at the Bavarian capital's Iphitos Tennis Club and traditionally attracts players of the highest calibre.
