German davis cup team full of confidence

The chances of a successful season for the german tennis team are better than they have been for a long time.

After a promising start at the australian open with strong performances by alexander and mischa zverev, the team, led by the first pair of brothers in german davis cup history, enters the first-round match against belgium in frankfurt am main as favorites.

While the hosts will have their best players, the belgians will have to do without top player david goffin. "Of course, the absence of goffin increases our chances, we accept the role of favorites," said the german team manager michael kohlmann. His belgian colleague johan van herck sees it the same way. "I can only agree with him on that," said van herck. "But it’s still the davis cup, so a lot can happen."

Kohlmann still doesn’t know who will compete for germany in the singles on friday and who will play the doubles on saturday. "Everyone has had a good start to the new year and has performed well. Anyone can play singles," said the team manager.

It is most likely that alexander zverev and philipp kohlschreiber will start. In doubles, alexander and mischa zverev could be paired as brothers. "It’s a possibility, but it also depends on how the games go on friday," said kohlmann.

The two zverevs are the first pair of brothers to be nominated for the german davis cup team. Alexander zverev, the younger of the two at 19, does not want to overestimate the odds. "We are here as a team and what pays is that we get on," said the german number one.

The german hopeful had caused a stir last year with his cancellation of the relegation match against poland. But on tuesday the world number 22 showed himself to be a team player. "It’s not about the zverevs, it’s about the team," said alexander zverev, who gave late finalist rafael nadal a rough fight over five sets in melbourne.

"It certainly gives you confidence that you had a chance to win against one of the best players in the world over five sets," said zverev. His brother mischa, who is ten years older, even knocked world number one andy murray out of the tournament, before he lost to the late winner roger federer. Kohlschreiber also fulfilled his target by advancing to round three. Why the mood is good in the german team. "Everyone is fit, everyone is eager for the match," was how kohlmann summed up the initial situation with rough confidence.

Against 9.At 45 o’clock, the fire department was called to the facility at landwehrstrabe 15 – against the backdrop of the fire catastrophe in the black forest at the end of november, an alarm of particular explosiveness. About 20 firefighters from the michelau fire department went to the nearby building, surrounding fire departments were called in for support, and district fire chief timm vogler was also quickly on the scene.

In the assembly room on the second floor, a short circuit in the supply line to a neon tube had produced a lot of smoke; smoke detectors installed on all floors had gone off. The 60 or so men and women working in the workshop fall in love with their workplaces, and some of them lead each other out into the open by the hands. "It worked out well the way we managed it," was the conclusion of, emphasized head of operations vogler.

The firefighters did not have to intervene in any major way: they removed several ceiling tiles to get to the cable that had caused the fire. An electrician was commissioned to carry out the rest of the work. In the fire station, which is only a few minutes’ walk away, the people from the workshops warmed up and were looked after by BRK staff until they were able to leave after about an hour. The rooms were ventilated, the damage was estimated at 5000 euros, according to preliminary information from the police.

"Exercises and walks pay off", was the conclusion of holger knab, commander of the michelau fire department, with regard to the very orderly process. After the devastating fire in titisee-neustadt last year, in which 14 people lost their lives and 14 others were injured, a possible fire at a facility for the disabled was also a special topic for the local fire departments. "I had a talk with the workshop manager thomas neugeboren before christmas", reported holger knab. The most recent inspection of the building with firefighters was not until 8 a.M., he said. January had been.

The public utility company of the st.-josephswerkstatten employs around 60 disabled people in the former santherr messehaus in michelau. The need for parking spaces is greater, so a new building is planned in the neuensee district, which should be available this fall.
