The German doubles showed a strong performance against Murray and Venus. After a balanced course, Krawietz and Pütz managed to win the set with the first break. The Davis Cup double took the momentum and managed another break in the second round. After 80 minutes, Krawietz and Pütz converted their third match point.
Aryna Sabalenka is in the women’s semifinals. The 25-year-old from Belarus won her quarter-finals against Madison Keys from the USA 6-2, 6-4 and is in the last four in London like two years ago. Last year Sabalenka was not allowed to play in Wimbledon because of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine.
