German tennis doubles have become a guarantee of success in the Davis Cup. The duo Kevin Krawietz/Tim Pütz could also secure the decisive point and second consecutive semi-final in the quarterfinals against Canada.
“We haven’t lost a double in 15 games. It doesn’t matter who played it, it stands alone,” said team boss Michael Kohlmann before the game against the North American favorites this Thursday (4pm / Servus TV & DAZN ) in Málaga.
First Pütz and Jan-Lennard Struff could not be defeated as a German two pair, then the two-time Grand Slam winners Krawietz and Andreas Mies remained undefeated. In the end Krawietz/Pütz got away with it. “How many games we played there when the score was 1-1 is extraordinary. Of course I hope this series doesn’t end there, but it will definitely happen sooner or later,” said Kohlmann.
From next season, Krawietz/Pütz will also compete together on the ATP tour. “Obviously we want to win the Grand Slams, preferably all four, but that’s not a realistic scenario and goal. Our main goal is to qualify for the ATP Finals in Turin in 2023,” Pütz said on the tennis and sports podcast ‘Advantage “. . The eight best teams of the year compete at the season finale in Italy.
