No double German win for 82 years before
Last year, Krawietz and Mies had in Roland Garros won the title as the first German double in 82 years, which is why Mies described Paris as defending the title in the run-up to the mission “Magic place” – and this year too, he didn’t lose an iota of his magic. The two Germans are the fourth male duo in professional tennis history since 1968 to win their title at the open French could defend successfully.
For his second hit, the still undefeated Krawietz / Mies in Paris grossed almost 320,000 euros. Only once before had the two played against Pavic / Soares and in 2019 in Cincinnati He took out the short straw. “You are currently the sexiest stuntman on tour”, Mies had warned beforehand; after all, the opponents had only reached the US Open in New York triumphs.
Becker: “In fact, it is impossible to defend titles”
The Germans had fond memories of Pavic: alongside Austrian Oliver Marach, the Croatian was no obstacle on the road to winning the title in the third round last year. Boris Becker had already euphorically appreciated the entrance to the final. One Grand-slamTitle to win “difficult enough to defend it really impossible”said all six times Grand Champion in Eurosport: “Having the opportunity to defend the title is incredibly strong.”
After 19-year-old Polish Iga Swiatek won the women’s singles title with her final victory against Sofia Kenin of the United States, Krawietz and Mies were able to play in the late afternoon. Philippe Chatrier Court ran.
Krawietz with brilliant returns
Just like in the semi-finals, 28-year-old Krawietz came back strong as a bear, two-year-old Mies was very fast on the net: the first Break 3: 1 was the result. In the second round, Krawietz and Mies had to defend against three match points against Benjamin Bonzi / Antoine Hoang of France, after which they bragged Match to Match Extremely safe performance.
“If we put our strengths on the field, we will be very difficult to play and extremely difficult to beat.”Mies had said, and he proved it with Krawietz also on Saturday: after half an hour, the first sentence went to the defending champions.
Animate from the box
Encouraged aloud by a handful of family and friends in the box, Krawietz and Mies mastered the first dangerous situation of the Matches, defended three break balls at 1: 2 in the second set. From then on, the Germans waited for their chance, which turned out to be 5-5, and Krawietz had a fantastic one. Return to the Break and used it for the preliminary decision. If he served his own second game ball, he sat down.
