Tennis at the US Open
Clap for victory – last German in New York
Laura Siegemund is the last German hopeful in the individual competition of the US Open. She is an outsider and can not counter the opponent too little.
Wimbledon quarter-finalist Laura Siegemund collected a clap in the third round of the US Open and clearly missed the hoped-for move into the round of 16. The 37-year-old Schwäbin remained 0: 6, 1: 6 against the world rankings 12. Jekaterina Alexandrowa without a chance. The last German tennis player of three participants in the individual competition of the Grand Slam tournament in New York was also eliminated from the beginning.

The expected pressure in the Russian favorites’ blows was too high for victory and too high. The unequal duel was over in just 60 minutes, the Metzinger could not counter Alexandrowa.
“Your type of game has not changed, but she has increased really a lot in the past one or two years,” had previously described the 30-year-old and warned: “The question is, how can you handle it when she pretended every ball with eight million km/h in front of the line?” She found no means in New York that afternoon.
In doubles, Siegemund had won the title at the US Open in doubles and triumphed in New York in Mixed 2016. Now, despite a thigh injury that has not healed, she was in the third round for the first time in nine years. In doubles, the Metzinger with the Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia is in the second round.
