Second try for Wawrinka
While Altmaier is still fresh in the game, Wawrinka is already battle-hardened in this Davis Cup duel. In doubles he lost in three sets with Dominic Stricker to the German duo Andreas Mies and Tim Pütz in the afternoon.

Altmaier against his mentor
Wawrinka and Altmaier share a common past: the Swiss used to act as a mentor for the Kempener. Today, however, they face each other as opponents.

winner of the evening
The spectators in Trier are of course the winners of the evening. Instead of having to worry about dinner now, they get a highly exciting duel to win against the Confederates. The court has been prepared again, the duelists are preparing.

Wawrinka favored
The bookmakers still saw Wawrinka as having a relatively clear advantage over Oscar Otte. If the Swiss had won, you could have collected 1.6 times your stake. Unfortunately, Alexander Zverev showed us a few minutes ago how much these odds are sometimes worth. Daniel Altmaier is nominally but also an outsider.

The decision is near
Welcome back from Trier! After the surprisingly clear success of Switzerland in the second individual, the event now culminates in the decisive individual. Oscar Otte was originally intended for this game on the German side, but with Daniel Altmaier another Davis Cup newcomer takes on this difficult task. Stan Wawrinka, who had watched the previous game for a relatively long time, will lace up his shoes for Switzerland.
