Schoolkate – Altmaier 2: 5
An inexpressible backhand error by Altmaier lets Schoolkate get a foot in the door for the first time in the return game, but that doesn’t help the Australian either. After 0:15 Altmaier plays incredibly powerfully, decides two points via Smash on the net and quickly has a 40:15V on the board. When the German then puts a forehand ball directly in front of the advancing Schoolkate and forces the error at the half volley, the 5: 2 is official.

Schoolkate reaches the top 100
Tristan Schoolkate has only been working on the ATP tour regularly since this season. Previously, the 24-year-old was mostly on the undermate Challenger Tour, where he was able to win two titles in the current season. In August, the Australian broke the top 100 for the first time in his career. Schoolkate caused a sensation this year with the Hartplatz majors. Ion Melbourne reached the second round and won a sentence against Jannik Sinner there. In New York, he recently defeated the Italian Lorenzo Sonego at the start before he had to give up Alexander Budikik.

Altmaier looking for Constance
For Daniel Altmaier, the tennis year 2025 is still one with ups and downs. Some highlights such as his first round of 16 from Masters level in Monte Carlo, the round of 16 in Wimbledon and the third round of the US Open after a victory over Stefnaos Tsitsipas are also offset by a number of unexpected resignation. The Kempener also showed two faces again in Tokyo. Initially, Altmaier served the former top ten player Denis Shapovalov in two sets in order to then be subject to Alexander Vukic, which was placed much further back in two rounds.
