I’m good, that’s it.”

Zum Auftakt won Marterer sein Einzel against Lukas Klein 6:4, 7:5. The US Open finalists Krawietz and Pütz, who had first arrived in Montagabend after longer Anreise in China, ensured an Abschluss with a 7:5, 6:3 against Klein/Igor Zelenay in Hinblick on the Satzbilanz for the wertvollen glatten Sieg .

It’s all so that Stars in Vorfeld ab. The German men played a long time after the US Open during the Olympic Games in Tokyo, the US with New York finalist Taylor Fritz and semi-finalist Frances Tiafoe were discussed. Kohlmann played the role of Jan-Lennard Struff and Dominik Koepfer.
