Who is on, who’s out? All news from day 5 at the Grand Slam tournament in Paris Current and compact.
German duo with solid performance
Krawietz/Pütz – Drzewiecki/Matuszewski 6: 3, 6: 3
Before the French Open Was the uncertainty for everyone involved: Can Tim Pütz with his finger injury, who forced him to compete in Paris at the tournament in Hamburg before the quarter -finals? Apparently it was a precaution, because Pütz played confidently against the Polish opponents Karol Drzewiecki and Piotr Matuszewski at the start of the double competition and both moved into the 2nd round.
A very solid start to the tournament that will give the two self -confidence – because their goal is clear. The German duo would like to do the first this year Grand SlamSecure the title. “We can beat every team “is the motto of the two double specialists. Once they were very close to the big triumph: in 2024 they already fought into US Open-Finale, but lost the Australian Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson. Now the coronation is to follow in France.
Wunderkind Andreeva defies the early morning hour
Andreeva – Krueger 6: 3, 6: 4
The fact that Mirra Andreeva is not exactly a fan of pursuing her work at 11 a.m. was to look at. With a grim look she stepped on the Court Simonne-Mathieuto deal with the American Ashlyn Krueger. Already in her first match Against Cristina Bucsa (6: 4, 6: 3), the alarm clock rang at 6:40 a.m. with the 18-year-old in order to prepare extensively for the game. For one teenager Really no pleasure. The most recent top-six in Paris since Nicole Vaidisova in 2007 mastered her task against Krueger without shining without shining. Perhaps she is currently feeling a little pressure, last year she had reached the semi-finals after a victory against the top favorite Aryna Sabalenka. At least she wants to play again.
Buds’ ingenuity prevails
BUKRAG – DE MINAUR 2: 6, 2: 6, 6: 4, 6: 3, 6: 2
They always exist, these special players, in whom genius and madness literally lie very close together. The Kazache Alexander Bust is such an actor who often goes on the pitch and does not know exactly what he can expect from himself. The 27-year-old often changes between the world and the district class, spectacular Trickshots Through the legs, cheeky forearm, and the most curious angles are also part of his repertoire Like fatal misconceptions and almost incredible mistakes. The Alex de Minaur, placed in Paris to number 9, had to witness the entire (impact) program of his opponent in his second-round encounter-and had to give up the Bukik. All players on the tour know about the peculiarities of Bulfuria and hope that he gets hogged in his genius. Against de Minaur, the Bukik found late, but then persistent to his many strengths.
Fils wins despite injury
Fils – Munar 7: 6 (7: 3), 7: 6 (7: 4), 2: 6, 0: 6, 6: 4
Probably the most important finding for the French tennis fans of day 5 of the French Open: This year it can still make a compatriot, the title in Roland Garros pick up. Arthur Fils remains the hottest candidate of the Grande Nationafter winning an incredible match against the Spanish clay court in Jaume Munar after 4.5 hours. A back injury ensured that the 20-year-old from Bondoufle could hardly move in the third and fourth set and the passages. Nobody had expected Fils to continue playing and would not give up.
But: The medication that the 20-year-old had taken worked in the fifth set in time and took part of his pain. He fought as much as possible and – worn by an euphorized audience – prevailed against the completely frustrated Munar. Since 1983, when Yannick Noah was able to prevail against Mats Wilander in three sets, the French have already been waiting for a successor to the man with the striking rattalocks.
