New York (AP) - Fed Cup player Laura Siegemund has reached the second round of the Masters tournament, which has been moved from Cincinnati to New York.
The 32-year-old tennis player sat down against the world number 18. Marketa Vondrousova from the Czech Republic somewhat surprisingly with 6: 3, 6: 7 (3: 7), 6: 4. Siegemund, who had made it into the main draw through qualification, needed 2:37 hours for her success. The Swabian is the only German in the women's competition at the dress rehearsal for the US Open, which takes place under strict hygiene conditions and without spectators.
