I just stayed on the smaller Court 1 after Divij Sharan’s 1st round match at the bett1HULKS Indoors in Cologne to see one of Germany’s doubles specialist, Frankfurt-origin Tim Pütz. I just watched the first games of the match, in which Frankfurt-born Pütz and Frederik Nielsen (Denmark) felt to control Mexican Santiago Gonzales and Brit Ken Skupski. They finally also won the first set, but had a very straight loss in the second one. Finally, the match tie-break turned the match in favor of the fourth-seeded.
