This first round Men’s Doubles match on Court 1 was in fact the first match I saw on 14th October 2020 in Cologne. Scheduled right before Divij Sharan’s match, the German wildcards Daniel Masur and Rudolf Molleker felt to have had the better start, winning the first set 6-3, but then lost the second one against the Spanish favorites Alejandro Davidovich Fokia / Fernando Verdasco quite straighly. I more or less arrived at the beginning of the match tie break, where both teams had their chances and partially wasted them by individual errors. The decider stayed very tight until the very end – the Spaniards felt a bit more mature in this and were at the lucky side finally of this tennis thriller. .
