The doubles clash between Spain and Germany has already seen high-stakes matches this week, although it was Krawietz and Peutz who prevailed in more dramatic circumstances as they saved three match points to complete Germany’s comeback against Argentina shortly after 1am local time.
Granollers and Martinez dominated the first set and quickly took a 4-0 lead, but one break of Krawietz and Peutz in the second was enough to force a decider.
But it was the Spanish duo who ultimately finished strongly, breaking the tie in the fourth game of the decider and holding their nerve to claim victory at the first opportunity.
Carreno Busta gave Spain the perfect start on Saturday afternoon by defeating Struff 6-4, 7-6 (8-6).
After failing to get the first three match points on Struff’s serve at 5-4 in the second set 5-4, Carreno Busta, ranked 89th, had to overcome a 6-1 deficit in the tie-break.
Zverev, the only player among the top ten to participate in this year’s finals, said after his 7-6 (7-2) and 7-6 (7-5) win that he was not feeling well in the period leading up to the confrontation.
The undistinguished German player committed 28 unforced errors but found consistency when it mattered to win the tie-break against Munard, ranked 36th in the world.
However, the doubles loss means Germany’s wait for a first final appearance since 1993 continues.
