Early Life and Background
Kevin Krawietz was born on 24 January 1992 in Coburg, Germany. He grew up in Germany and developed an early interest in tennis, working his way through the country’s competitive junior system. His physical stature, listed at 188 centimeters, has supported a serve-oriented doubles style suited to a variety of surfaces.
Krawietz’s most notable junior result came at the 2009 Wimbledon Championships, where he won the Boys’ doubles title. That Grand Slam success as a teenager signaled his doubles potential and foreshadowed the pairing success that would later define his professional career. His progression through European junior events laid the foundation for a transition into the professional ranks.
Path to Professional Tennis
Krawietz made his ATP debut at the 2009 German Open as a wildcard, losing to Jan Hernych in the first round in three sets. In 2010, he received a wildcard for the Bavarian Championships in Munich, where he lost to Tomáš Berdych in the first round in straight sets. These early main-draw appearances provided valuable experience against top-level opposition.
Through 2017, Krawietz played mainly on the ITF Circuit and the ATP Challenger Tour, gradually improving his doubles ranking. In 2015, he won his first Challenger doubles title at the Morocco Challenger in Meknes, partnering Maximilian Marterer. These developmental years on the lower circuits helped him refine his net play and tactical awareness, preparing him for sustained ATP Tour success.
Kevin Krawietz Career
Early Career (2009–2017)
Krawietz’s early professional years were spent primarily on the ITF Circuit and the ATP Challenger Tour. His initial appearances at ATP events came through wildcard opportunities in Germany, including the 2009 German Open and the 2010 Bavarian Championships. Although he did not record wins in those early tournaments, the experiences were critical to his development.
His first Challenger-level doubles title arrived in 2015 at the Morocco Challenger in Meknes alongside Maximilian Marterer. The victory marked a turning point, signaling that Krawietz was ready to compete more regularly at the ATP level. By the end of 2017, he had established himself as a dependable doubles competitor ready for full-time ATP Tour play.
French Open Breakthrough (2018–2020)
Krawietz and Andreas Mies announced their arrival as a top doubles team at the 2019 French Open. Entering as unseeded players, they defeated the French duo Jérémy Chardy and Fabrice Martin in the final to claim the title. The victory made them the first all-German team in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam title and the first since Gottfried von Cramm and Henner Henkel in 1937.
The pair built on that success throughout 2019, adding titles at the New York Open and the European Open in Antwerp. At the 2019 US Open, they reached the semifinals. In 2020, Krawietz and Mies successfully defended their French Open doubles title, defeating Mate Pavić and Bruno Soares in straight sets in the final. Their unbeaten run at Roland Garros extended across multiple years, cementing their reputation on clay.
Partnership Shifts and First ATP 500 Title (2021–2022)
In 2021, Krawietz won his fifth career doubles title at the Bavarian Championships in Munich, partnering Wesley Koolhof. At the French Open, he teamed up with Horia Tecău and, as a twice defending champion, extended his unbeaten run to 15 wins before finally suffering his first Roland Garros defeat in a quarterfinal loss. He and Tecău then won the 2021 Halle Open, his first ATP 500 title and his first on grass.
The 2022 season produced two titles in quick succession. At the Barcelona Open, Krawietz won the title joining up with Mies, and within a week, they also won on home soil in Munich. Although he lost his first-ever French Open doubles match later that season, the campaign reinforced his versatility across surfaces and partners.

At the US Open, the pair reached the final, defeating fifth seeds Andrea Vavassori and Simone Bolelli, sixteenth seeds Máximo González and Andrés Molteni, and fourth seeds Marcelo Arévalo and Mate Pavić. They then capped the year by winning the 2024 ATP Finals in straight sets against Arévalo and Pavić, becoming the first all-German duo and the first No. 8 seeds to reach and win the doubles final.
