Result
The seventh seeds held their nerve on the fine margins, as ever. Kevin Krawietz and Tim Pütz edged the French pair Sadio Doumbia and Fabien Reboul 7-5 7-6(6) in 1 hour 53 minutes on No.3 Court, converting two of four break points and saving four of the five they faced to keep the streaky underdogs at arm's length. Doumbia and Reboul forced a second-set tiebreak that went to the wire, but the settled German pair closed it out 8-6. Krawietz and Pütz reach the semi-finals.

At this Stage
The all-continental quarter with a clear pecking order held to form, just. The seventh seeds Kevin Krawietz and Tim Pütz — a pair that thrives on the fine margins — beat the streaky French duo Sadio Doumbia and Fabien Reboul 7-5 7-6(6) on No.3 Court, a second-set tiebreak going their way 8-6. Doumbia and Reboul, slow starters who had come from behind all fortnight, could not force a decider this time. Krawietz and Pütz move into a semi-final against the sixth seeds Marcelo Arévalo and Mate Pavić, who beat the home pair Cash and Glasspool; the top seeds Heliövaara and Patten face Kokkinakis and Kovacevic in the other half.

What I said beforehand
The preview, frozen before the first serve. Clearly dated, never rewritten — that's the deal that makes the pick worth anything.
An all-continental quarter with a clear pecking order. Krawietz and Pütz, the No. 7 seeds and a long-settled partnership, have survived two final-set tie-breaks and beaten the No. 11 seeds — a team that finds another gear exactly when the match tightens. Doumbia and Reboul are a dangerous, streaky pair who dropped the opening set in two of three rounds and won anyway, but they've faced no seed as stern as the one waiting now. I make the German pair the pick: more grass-court reps, and the better nerve when a set goes to a breaker.
The case for Krawietz / Pütz
62% to winThe No. 7 seeds are the settled, big-occasion pair here — two of their wins came in final-set tie-breaks, including one over the No. 11 seeds, so the tighter this gets, the more it suits them.
The case for Doumbia / Reboul
38% to winDoumbia and Reboul have made a habit of losing the first and winning the war, coming from a set down in two of three rounds. If they start fast for once, their all-court movement can trouble anyone.
Both cases written 2026-07-07, before the first ball — frozen into the record exactly as written, whatever the result. The percentages are mine, quoted to a decimal because false precision is funnier — and tennis has no draw to hide the rounding in.
My locked pick: Krawietz / Pütz to advance ✓ RIGHT
“More grass reps and the better nerve in a tie-break; the No. 7 seeds over the streaky slow-starters.”

Storylines
- Krawietz and Pütz have edged two of their three rounds in a deciding tie-break — a pair that thrives on the fine margins.
- Doumbia and Reboul dropped the first set in two of three rounds and still came through; the question is whether that holds against a top-eight seed.
