Kevin Krawietz actually wanted to compete in doubles with Jan-Lennard Struff after the operation, which his regular partner Andreas Mies had to undergo. At those tournaments where Struff also competes individually. This is now the case in Rotterdam, Struff, however, goes into the bucket with Pierre-Hugues Herbert, Krawietz tries with Horia Tecau. And both pairs showed strong nerves at the beginning: Struff / Herbert defeated Hubert Hurkacz and Félix Auger-Aliassime 6: 7 (5), 6: 3 and 10: 8, Krawietz / Tecau won against Marcelo Melo and Jean-Julien Rojer 6: 3, 3: 6 and 11: 9.
Struff and Herbert face Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic in round two. Krawietz and Mies play against the two Russians Andrey Rublev and Karen Khachanov.
