The successful German tennis doubles Kevin Krawietz and Andreas Mies will go their separate ways in the future. One day after losing the semifinals at the Masters tournament in Paris, Krawietz from Coburg and his partner announced their separation on Sunday (November 6th, 2022).
“After four unforgettable years, the time has come to start a new chapter”, wrote the 32-year-old Mies on Instagram. In the new year he will start in Australia with John Peers (Australia), Krawietz has decided to continue on this path with Tim Pütz (Frankfurt/Main).
History made in Roland Garros
“Our journey is coming to an end this year. It’s hard to put into words what happened,” Kevin Krawietz also wrote on Instagram. Krawietz/Mies won the French Open in 2019 and 2020. As little boys, both would have dreamed of turning the match point and lifting a big trophy. “The fact that it will be this one from @rolandgarros and that twice in a row exceeded our imagination,” wrote Mies.
This year, the doubles were eliminated early in the Grand Slam tournaments in Australia (round of 16), the French Open (1st round) and the US Open (2nd round) and had only reached the quarterfinals in Wimbledon. At the Davis Cup, Mies played with Pütz and played a key role in progressing. Due to the end in Paris last weekend, they missed the ATP Finals in Turin.
“Intimate Friendship” emerged
“We helped each other to achieve (almost) all dreams and goals, celebrating victories together and dealing with defeats,” Mies wrote. Since the first joint tournament in 2017, “a successful partnership and even more important: an intimate friendship” has emerged. “What we have achieved together, no one can take away from us.” And Krawietz said goodbye: “Good luck bro in your next season and I hope for not too many encounters, if only in the final.”
