In the second, Altmeier seemed to regain his efficiency and started with two shutouts. But it wasn't enough and he was broken on his third service game. The Netherlands seemed to be heading for a quick victory, but Germany managed to ward off four break points to stay in contact, before breaking immediately and getting back to 4-4. There would then be no more break points to contest and the two men would have to play a tie-break. Once again, Van De Zandschulp was more realistic before showing himself feverish and seeing five match points escape him. A little against the run of play, Germany returned to a set everywhere.
