“We still have to eat something, have treatments – we are sure not to be in bed before three o’clock,” he said: “And at 9:30 pm we meet the team for breakfast. It’s not that easy.”
In order to keep the hopes of reaching the semi-finals alive in Group D, a win against Switzerland for Olympic champion Belinda Bencic is already a must. But even then, the German team, led by Angelique Kerber, would have to hope that the Czechs would slip up against Switzerland on Thursday, because only the winners of the four groups of three will advance to the semi-finals on Friday.

There is great respect for the Swiss women when it comes to the selection of the German Tennis Federation (DTB). “Switzerland has so many good players, now they have Golubic and Teichmann, who played incredibly well this year, and Belinda anyway,” said Andrea Petkovic. After gold in singles, Bencic also won silver in doubles with Viktorija Golubic in Tokyo.
Against Switzerland, she expects “high-level matches”, said Petkovic, but also “difficult challenges. We tennis players are not used to having to play again the next day after losing.”
