Oberhaching – After separating from his long-term doubles partner Andreas Mies, tennis pro Kevin Krawietz and his new partner Tim Pütz have set their sights on the Grand Slam title again.
“Of course I trust that we can win Grand Slams. Otherwise I would not have made the decision like this,” said Krawietz in an online press conference. “I believe that we can become one of the best teams,” said the 30-year-old.
Krawietz and Mies had previously announced that they would no longer play doubles together from next year. The decision was his, said Krawietz. “I had the feeling that I needed a new impetus,” explained Krawietz, for whom the decision was “very difficult”. “It was a bit like breaking up, not a nice feeling.”
Krawietz and Pütz have played together several times in the Davis Cup in the past. The duo will also be back together in the quarterfinals against Canada on November 24th in Malaga. Together with Mies, Krawietz won the French Open in 2019 and 2020. Mies will play with Australian John Peers in the future.
