Last week Davis Cup player Tim Pütz made it to the final round of the ATP Challenger in Kyoto/Japan (50,000 US dollars).

The 30-year-old Pütz beat fellow countryman Tobias Kamke in the quarter-finals (6-4,6-0) on his way there, but then lost to Australian Jordan Thompson with 6-3,5-7,4-6. The title was won by Thompson’s compatriot, who placed John Millman at one.
