Tennis crime thrillers, Bayern reaction, handball fairy tales, Klopp showdowns and basket hunter derbies – real sports fans can spend this Wednesday completely in front of the TV. Here is the schedule for Super Sports Day.
The most important things at a glance
Tennis: Zverev against Alcaraz
We start with tennis straight after breakfast coffee. A really big challenge awaits Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open with world number two Carlos Alcaraz. In the previous round, Zverev had to torment himself over five sets against the Briton Cameron Norrie, while Alcaraz cleaned up the Serb Kezmanovic in three sets. So Alcaraz will have significantly less muscle soreness when he around 11 a.m German time has to compete against Zverev (Eurosport broadcasts live).
A best-of-five match can take a long time – you have to make time for it until the early afternoon. Afterwards it’s time to relax. At 8:30 p.m Then an important decision has to be made: At the same time, the kick-off sounds in the last main round game for the German handball players and in the important catch-up game between Munich Bayern and Union Berlin.
Germany’s handball players: showdown against Croatia
The handball players need a win against Croatia in order to be able to continue dreaming of the title at the home European Championship. The clear victory over Hungary on Monday gave hope, and the Lanxess Arena in Cologne will once again stand as one behind national coach Alfred Gislason’s team (here’s how to watch Germany against Croatia live on TV).
FC Bayern: Detention against the “Iron”
Klopp wants to reach the final with Liverpool
That’s not all: there’s a lot at stake for Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool FC on this packed day of sports. The Reds are in the semi-finals of the English League Cup against Fulham FC. Liverpool won the first leg 2-1 at home, now Fulham has to fight back (DAZN from 9 p.m).

There will be thick air under the baskets (DAZN from 4 a.m. on Tuesday to Wednesday night).
