After the defeat against the USA, the German tennis men will advance to the second Davis Cup final in their group. At the end of a remarkable week with two clear wins, the much weaker team lost 2-1 against the USA in Zhuhai. Tim Pütz and Kevin Krawietz achieved only one symbolic victory in doubles.

Squire and Martyr lose their singles

With the loss of debutant Henry Squire and Maximilian Marterer, the Germans had no chance of winning after the individual rounds and had to let the Americans win in the group.

The decision was taken by Marterer's 4:6, 2:6 win over Brandon Nakashima. Squire had earlier come close to victory on his Davis Cup debut. However, 23-year-old Reilly lost to Opelka 7:6 (7:4), 6:7 (9:11), 3:6 after three unused match points.

Hanfman is saved

Given 3-0 wins over Slovakia and Chile and already assured qualification for the Davis Cup final, team captain Michael Coleman somewhat surprisingly decided not to use Yannick Hanfmann.

Tim Pütz and Kevin Krawietz underlined just how important they can be in the final with a pointless doubles 6:1, 7:6 (7:4) win over top American pair Austin Krajicek and Rajiv Ram.
