Lars Burgsmüller/Alexander Popp(GER) - Arnaud Clement(FRA)/Mikhail Youzhny(RUS) 6:0 7:6(3)

After the German guys completely smashed their weak opponents in first set on the overfull court 2 in Halle and even lead 3:1 in second set, they lost their line, got broken and from that moment, two really weak double teams faced each other. In second set tie-break, Burgsm&umml;ller and Popp slightly came back to their convincing style of play they showed in first set and deservedly took the win.
