Germany faces the Netherlands in the Davis Cup semifinals in Malaga, with both teams coming off dramatic victories. Germany surprised many by defeating Canada, while the Netherlands ousted host nation Spain in an equally thrilling encounter. This matchup is expected to be closely contested, but Germany’s strong doubles team and recent form give them a slight edge.
Germany vs Netherlands Preview
Germany’s success has been fueled by their dependable No. 1 player, Jan-Lennard Struff, who delivered under pressure against Canada. Struff’s ability to step up in key moments could be critical again. Daniel Altmaier has proven to be a reliable second option, securing a vital win against Gabriel Diallo in the quarterfinals. Germany’s doubles team, Tim Puetz and Kevin Krawietz remains one of the best in the tournament and could be the decisive factor in this tie.
The Dutch team has relied heavily on Tallon Griekspoor, their No. 1 player, who has been consistent in singles. Botic van de Zandschulp, though talented, struggled in his previous match and has shown vulnerabilities. The Netherlands’ doubles pairing, though solid, lacks the firepower and chemistry of the German duo, putting them at a disadvantage if the tie goes to the deciding match.

Germany vs Netherlands – Match Analysis
The singles matches will likely be split, with Griekspoor favoured to win against Struff in a tight contest and Altmaier having the edge over van de Zandschulp due to the latter’s inconsistent form. If the tie comes down to doubles, Germany’s Krawietz and Puetz are heavy favourites due to their experience and proven track record in Davis Cup pressure situations.
The Netherlands must rely on Griekspoor to secure a win and hope van de Zandschulp finds his best form. However, Germany’s depth, resilience, and standout doubles team make them the more balanced squad heading into this tie.
Betting Tip – Germany vs Netherlands
Germany’s strengths in doubles and their solid singles lineup make them the favourites to win this semifinal. The Netherlands will likely put up a fight, but Germany’s consistency and teamwork should prevail. Back Germany to win the tie at odds around 1.80–1.90, as their strong doubles pairing gives them a clear advantage in the deciding match. Expect Germany to advance to the final, potentially setting up a clash with Italy.
