Porsche Team Germany still first class
Stuttgart/Riga. Porsche Team Germany will once again be competing in the Fed Cup World Group containing the eight top #tennis nations in 2020. A comfortable 3-1 win in the play-off against Latvia in Riga ensured that the team led by the #Porsche Brand Ambassador Julia Görges avoided the drop.
“All in all, it was a fantastic encounter for us. The girls have rewarded themselves for a good and intensive week of practice,” said team captain Jens Gerlach. “All the play- ers were fully concentrated from the start and did an outstanding job. We’re all very relieved and have good reason to be proud of ourselves.”
The foundation to the win was laid on Friday by #andreapetkovic, who produced an impressive fighting performance to defeat Jelena Ostapenko, the 2017 French Open champion, 7-5, 6-4. Julia Görges then required three sets (6-4, 4-6, 6-1) against Diana Marcinkevica to put Germany 2-0 up. The decisive third point was supplied on Satur- day by Mona Barthel who beat the Latvian No. 1 Jelena Ostapenko 6-4, 6-3. In accord- ance with the rules, the fourth rubber was not played. Anna-Lena Grönefeld and An- drea Petkovic lost the concluding doubles 6-1, 6-3 against Jelena Ostapenko and Dan- iela Vismane.
Julia Görges and #andreapetkovic will be in action in the singles and Anna-Lena Grönefeld in the doubles at the #Porschetennisgrandprix, which began in Stuttgart on Saturday.
