21:15
O. Otte – P. Gojowczyk 6:1, 3:1
Otte, however, masters this hurdle, even if not completely confidently. But that won’t bother him much, Otte continues to show with a break.
21:12
O. Otte – P. Gojowczyk 6:1, 2:1
For the first time, Otte has to go over the debut on his own serve. This is also due to the fact that he already has seven double faults on his account. Despite the clear game so far, this is a statistic that shouldn’t look so natural so early in the match.
21:09
O. Otte – P. Gojowczyk 6:1, 2:1
Very well served by Gojowczyk, who urgently needs his serve, regardless of the fact that he still makes too many mistakes out of the game. With this good service he can fight his way to 1:2.
21:05
O. Otte – P. Gojowczyk 6:1, 2:0
Oscar Otte certainly doesn’t play the stars from the sky here, but he is very stable and hardly makes any mistakes. A clever appearance by the man from Cologne, who continues to march through this game.
21:04
O. Otte – P. Gojowczyk 6:1, 1:0
And Peter Gojowczyk’s nightmare evening continues. The 32-year-old can’t find any rhythm, makes far too many mistakes and gives the break right away.
20:59
O. Otte – P. Gojowczyk 6:1
Otte serves well now and has two set balls here. Gojowczyk can still fend off the first set ball, but he is powerless with the second set ball. Set one goes to Oscar Otte after just 22 minutes.
20:55
O. Otte – P. Gojowczyk 5:1
This will do “Gojo” good! The 32-year-old does not easily get the service game here, but in the end he does so at 30 and shortens it to 1:5. This will probably not change anything at the end of the sentence, but maybe the challenger’s self-confidence.
20:51
O. Otte – P. Gojowczyk 5:0
Otte makes a foot mistake on the second serve. You see something like that very rarely. However, this does not upset the favorites. Otte makes it 5-0 with peace of mind.
20:48
O. Otte – P. Gojowczyk 4:0
Otte, on the other hand, moves well and has the necessary self-confidence. The 28-year-old is already getting his second break here and may make a small preliminary decision in set one.
20:48
O. Otte – P. Gojowczyk 3:0
Gojowczyk has no rhythm at all here. Simple mistakes on the backhand put a spanner in the works for the Dachau player and might cost him another break.
20:45
O. Otte – P. Gojowczyk 3:0
Otte’s quota for the first serve is only 60%, but if it comes, he currently scores every point. So the Cologne player is 3-0 here.
20:43
O. Otte – P. Gojowczyk 2:0
There’s the early break! The breakball return is actually not good, but Gojowczyk doesn’t know exactly how to take the ball in the half field and thunders the felt ball into the net.
20:42
O. Otte – P. Gojowczyk 1:0
After being 0:30 behind in his own service game, the 32-year-old fights back to 40:30. However, because he then makes a double fault, Gojowczyk has to go past Debut.
20:39
O. Otte – P. Gojowczyk 1:0
Allowed a point, but still served confidently. Oscar Otte starts this game very well.
20:38
O. Otte – P. Gojowczyk 0:0
Here we go! Otte opens the game with his own serve and grabs point number one. But his opponent can also score a point early on. 15 Both!
20:25
Soon it will start!
The preliminary game on Court Seven is now over. So Otte and Gojowczyk can now get ready and get going in just over ten minutes.
20:03
Not for long…
Because set five between Tabilo and Djere will probably go into the tie break, there will be another 20 to 30 minutes of waiting. If it doesn’t rain again, we’ll finally be able to start.
19:21
The wait goes on
The match in seventh place that took place before the duel now actually goes into the fifth set. For the two Germans, this means that they will have to wait until at least 8 p.m.
18:51
Patience is required!
Patience is still a virtue for the two Germans. Due to further delays, the game will probably start at 7:25 p.m. at the earliest!
18:20
No Wimbledon love
Things are not going quite so well for opponents Gojowczyk. The German is still in the top 100 in the world and has lost 15 of his 21 matches so far this year. The short lawn season is actually not a bad phase for “Goto”, who feels good on the lawn. Nonetheless, he has already failed six times in Wimbledon qualifying and twice in the first round, which he only survived once.
17:57
Strong season
This year, Oscar Otte showed himself to be in great form and was able to transport his performance directly onto the green surface. In Stuttgart and Halle he made it to the semi-finals, where he was eliminated by favorites Berrettini and Medvedev. Otte is now number 36 in the world and even starts at Wimbledon as a seeded player.
17:27
