Yoshihito Nishioka vJan-Lennard Struff Extended Match Highlights | Japan v Germany 2025 Davis Cup

Oh, taking it. Two strip. [Applause] Oh well giving Stri a taste of his own medicine there in Nishio and maybe he sees this as his chance was just the perfect time to come up wasn’t it since that Stroo was in big trouble had to again does superbly well there. Oh, he’s done it again. This time off the forehand. It’s Struff who pounces at the end of the set to give Germany the advantage in this opening match of this Davis Cup tie. All about who won the bigger points at the back end of the set and it’s Yan Leonard Struff who takes the opener 6-4. That’s just too good though from the German, isn’t it? Was a really good return. [Music] Look over the the other side of the net. play from the amount of times tennis players and said matches that they were really struggling in. It was in a fifth set and we know Oh. Oh, it’s superbly done. [Applause] Oh yes, that’s arguably the point of the match so far. Pressure on this second serve now. Oh, he’s made it all of the German team would have been holding their breath. Well, is he going to deliver for his nation once again? Yoshito Nishioa certainly delivered in that tiebreaker as he levels the match. Takes the second set 76 and we go to a one set shootout. At times struggles to control his emotions. Someone else was similar to that, Nick Curios. He spoke glowingly about how he always way preferred to play Davis Cup tennis because you’re just playing for yourself. Well, such a lonely sport, isn’t it? Tennis generally speaking, you’re on your own. Oh, that’s absolutely class from String himself forward, getting himself into the shots. There’s the forehand open stance and then to know which way this is going to go, doesn’t it? Might just hinge on a lucky break one point here or there. I think that shot just gets the German into trouble again. Playing the open stance. Yeah, dropping it short. Nishio and Str takes full advantage. [Applause] And he gets the off inch perfect once again. This time off the forehand. Oh wow. That’s arguably the shot of the match. Full stretch. An outstanding game at just the right time from Yan Leonard Stu as he breaks to love. Yan Leonard Struff delivers for his nation. In truth, he just won the bigger points as so often that is the defining factor. This Joker’s winning run in Davis Cup singles play comes to an end, but it took some effort from the German to end that run. An enthralling encounter, but it’s Stripp who wins through. 64 67 64 to put Germany one up in this tie.
