Miami Masters: Krawietz Advances to the Round of 16

Kevin Krawietz and Neil Oberleitner got off to a strong start in Florida, easily defeating American wildcard entrants Benjamin Kittay and Ryan Seggerman 6-4, 6-4.

Who awaits the duo in the round of 16 will now be decided in the match between the eighth-seeded pair of Nys/Roger-Vasselin and the Americans Cash/Tracy.

Since Krawietz’s regular partner Tim Pütz—as previously agreed—returned to Europe after the tournament in Indian Wells, Krawietz and Oberleitner are competing as a one-time doubles team in Miami.
