The German doubles Kevin Krawietz and Tim Pütz are reaching for the first joint title on the tennis tour at the ATP tournament in Munich. The duo, newly formed at the beginning of the year, beat Robin Haase and Philipp Oswald (Netherlands/Austria) 7-6 (10-8), 6-2 in the semi-finals of the BMW Open and reached a final together for the first time.
There, Krawietz (31) and Pütz (35) will meet Lucas Miedler and Alexander Erler from Austria on Sunday. Krawietz could win his third title in a row in Munich. In 2021 he had triumphed with the Dutchman Wesley Koolhof, in 2022 with his long-time partner Andreas Mies. Pütz has also won once at the MTTC Iphitos: in 2019 with the Dane Frederik Nielsen.
Krawietz (Coburg) parted ways with Mies (Cologne) at the end of last year, with whom he had twice won the French Open title. With Pütz (Frankfurt) he started the season late after the birth of his first child, together they were already in the semi-finals in Montpellier, Rotterdam and most recently in Monte Carlo.
In the Davis Cup, Krawietz and Pütz formed the successful German regular doubles in the past two years.
