Olympic champion Alexander Zverev can now make progress with a win in the top individual against Thiago Monteiro. After that, Jan-Lennard Struff and Thiago Seyboth Wild will play against each other. On Friday, Zverev clearly won against Seyboth Wild, but Struff had to admit defeat to Monteiro.
Krawietz and Pütz initially had major problems with the difficult space conditions in the Olympic Park in Rio de Janeiro. In the first set, Krawietz lost his serve, after 38 minutes the Brazilians took the first set. In the second set, however, the German duo improved and managed to equalize the set in the tie-break. Krawietz and Pütz, who had won all four games in last year’s finals, now had the upper hand and made the victory perfect with the first match point.
