So weak, German Tennis players have been cut off for a small eternity (2008) in the case of a Grand Slam tournament. General packing after round 1. This is not only bad luck, says Marko.

German Tennis misery in Paris
The German Tennis Federation a fiasco threatens the French Open. So far, a player is only in the second round of the Grand Slam tournament. The largest German carrier of hope. (30.05.2017)
Who is clay court king of the French Open?
The tennis tournament in Paris is the culmination of the clay court season. In the case of women, no clear favourite can be identified on the inside, for the men, several players regarded as Top favorites. Also a German. (26.05.2017)
Sascha and Mischa against the Rest of the world
Two German brothers challenge the Tennis-kings: such A Story has not been in a Grand Slam tournament. The story of the brothers Alexander and Mischa Zverev is already a special one. (20.01.2017)
He will now travel home to Monte Carlo, to the beach, since the weather’s nice, be a grumpy Alexander Zverev said after his defeat to the Team of “Eurosport”. And as he said, this could be the nice weather in Monte Carlo for him is about as appealing as a root canal treatment on a wisdom tooth. Terminus in the first round in Paris. Against Fernando Verdasco. For the hope of German Tennis is a bitter experience. He had just played the big crap. “As simple as that.” Crap there was the charming Translation of a word, the circle class-use tennis player always on the pitch when it’s running. It begins with “Sch … “
“Sch …” is actually sufficient comment of the performance of the German Tennis pros at the French Open, the Grand Slam to ash in the neighboring country, what should be the German. No! The list of players that looked only briefly in the West of Paris by: Angelique Kerber, Philipp Kohlschreiber, Mona Barthel, Andrea Petkovic, Florian Meyer, Mischa Zverev, Dustin Brown, Annika Beck, Julia Görges in the first round out! Wherein Görges her opponent delivered a thrilling Fight. In the evening she was then, already caught a cold, in bed with a fever – according to the 1:6, 6:3, 13:11 against Madison Brengle. Sabine Lisicki, after all, a former Wimbledon finalist, wasn’t even good enough for Roland-Garros this year.
Hello? It’s even?
Just bad luck? Anyone who says that makes it too easy for himself. The Germans are, when it comes to clay courts, or in the case of the Grand Slams hart to hart, international at the Moment, unfortunately, eye-to-eye. With Spaniards, Frenchmen, or the humorless occurring in players from the Eastern European countries or from Russia. And it can go to a German Tennis Fan is already close to if then, for example, Andrea Petkovic still in the log: “I am pleased with my process this year.” You know what she means. Anyway: Hello? It’s even? You would call her. In 2014, she was in Paris in the semi-finals. A long time ago.

So something is writing, of course, slightly in front of the TV in the Newsroom. Petkovic has spent the past few years with injuries, but also with a process of self discovery: she’s still a Tennis Pro? She wants to return to the top? Or she’s swimming with the big concert of the entertainment artists on the Court? I don’t want to be presumptuous. But if I could make a wish: I wish me the old “Petko”. Or Angelique Kerber last year. Or Kohlschreiber, the not connected always “on”. Said after his defeat in Paris: “I feel quite good today.” How, please? We would like to see him once to win.
35,000 euros for the Reach of the first round
For your orientation: Who is among the first 100 in the ATP or WTA world rankings, can live of his tournament earnings quite well. From space 200, it will not be thinner, 250 is enough usually, to pay for travel, coaches, Hotels, physiotherapists, or the old-age pension without additional Sponsor. Who reached in Paris in the first round, gets 35,000 euros.
What’s going wrong? The reasons for the German Dilemma – of course – different. Angelique Kerber, for example, doesn’t believe in it, how good it is (or can be). A new “address” through a new coach might be able to help. Kohlschreiber? Has tormented the last rare. Brown? An artist, an Entertainer, more unfortunately not. Such a shame. And the Zverev brothers? The a has just won the tournament of Rome, and the other reached the final of Geneva. Strenuous Thing. “A Match too much,” said Boris Becker.
The Mini-Tour called Bundesliga
However, the reason that the representatives of the German Tennis Federation – because the are the sole proprietors on the Tour – at Grand Slams so often, second-class services, is also structural in nature, In Germany, in the Bundesliga, they are rarely the Stars. Instead, Spaniards, French, Italians, Dutch, in of – from a large Online merchant, and many industrial sponsors gepamperte Mini-Tour called the Bundesliga in the summer, a lot of coal for relatively little Sport. As for the young German care, is counterproductive. Examples? The Cologne League-player Oscar Otte or Antonia Lottner, long regarded as a great talent, and in Paris, both in qualifying and failed, to enforce on an international level, so only with difficulty or not at all. German Tennis officials an idea that to change? In Germany, clubs must now already in the fourth (!) League money for good Tennis-players of numbers games. They usually come from abroad to visit. Cheese, but unfortunately the industry is common.
And where is the Positive, the Lord remains Long? Tatjana Maria from Bad Saulgau has survived the first round in Paris, as well as the hamburger, Carina Witthöft, the latter in spite of injury. By the way for both of 60,000 euros.
