Pütz to play at the Australian Open with Hanfmann

The 38-year-old is parting ways with Kevin Krawietz at the end of the season and plans to scale back his commitments – but he will be competing in Australia one last time.

Davis Cup player Tim Pütz (38) is, surprisingly, continuing his professional career at least until the Australian Open – though he will not be competing in Melbourne with his long-standing partner Kevin Krawietz. He will contest the Grand Slam tournament in January alongside Yannick Hanfmann, Pütz said ahead of the start of the ATP Finals in Turin: “After that, though, it will most likely be over.”

His appearance at the Australian Open will be combined “with a big family holiday”, said Pütz: “Our son is starting school next summer, so this will be the last time we can do something like this.” Pütz is parting ways with Krawietz at the end of the season to spend more time with his family. Krawietz (34) will continue his career alongside Croatian Mate Pavic.

Pütz also hinted that he might play “one or two tournaments” in the run-up to the Tennis Bundesliga in the spring. And after that, according to Pütz, “that’ll definitely be it.”

In Turin, the world-class doubles pair are aiming to secure their second title since 2024. Finally, Krawietz and Pütz are targeting victory at the Finals in Bologna with the German Davis Cup team led by top star Alexander Zverev.
