by 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.
