Defending champion Angelique Kerber was surprisingly eliminated in the quarterfinals of the tennis tournament in Bad Homburg.
The 34-year-old from Kiel had to admit defeat to Frenchwoman Alizé Cornet 4: 6, 6: 2, 1: 6 at her home event and thus botched the dress rehearsal for the lawn classic in Wimbledon, which begins on June 27th. Kerber could not build on their good performances from the first two rounds. Although she braced herself against defeat in the second set. But in the third round, Cornet pulled away again.
Before Kerber, Sabine Lisicki had already missed the semi-finals. The 32-year-old from Berlin lost to Caroline Garcia from France 3: 6, 6: 7 (7: 9). The former Wimbledon finalist had to admit defeat after 1:56 hours. This means that all German players in Bad Homburg have been eliminated.
