The German tennis professional Dominik Koepfer was eliminated in the first round of the tournament in Newport in the USA.
The player from the Black Forest lost 4:6, 5:7 against the American Christopher Eubanks. Peter Gojowczyk is the only German to reach the last 16.

Gojowczyk, for whom it was his first win since February, will now face American number two seed John Isner.
