German Duo Krawietz and Pütz Make Tennis History at ATP Finals
Kevin Krawietz and Tim Pütz secure a historic semifinal spot, becoming the first German doubles team to achieve this at the ATP Finals.
- Tim Pütz and Kevin Krawietz have advanced to the semifinals at the ATP Finals in Turin, marking a historic achievement for German tennis.
- The duo secured their place in the semifinals by winning their first two group matches, a feat never before accomplished by a German doubles team in the tournament's 55-year history.
- Pütz and Krawietz defeated top-seeded Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic, as well as local favorites Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori, showcasing exceptional performance.
- Their success is particularly surprising given Pütz's recent recovery from a calf muscle tear, which had limited his preparation for the tournament.
- On Friday, they face Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden in their final group match, with the potential to advance to the tournament's final on Saturday.
