Now the last German player in Madrid has also been knocked out: Tatjana Maria has virtually no chance in her second round duel with Belarusian Viktoria Azarenka
Tatjana Maria has been knocked out in the second round of the Masters 1000 tournament in Madrid. The 36-year-old from Bad Saulgau lost 3:6, 1:6 to Viktoria Azarenka from Belarus.
After 81 minutes, the former Wimbledon semi-finalist, who had problems with her serve in particular, had to concede defeat to the number 23 seed.
The women’s competition at the 8.77 million US dollar clay court tournament will therefore continue without any German players. Laura Siegemund, who had fought her way into the main draw via two successful qualifying rounds, clearly lost her opening match against Croatia’s Donna Vekic. Former world number one Angelique Kerber is skipping the tournament after contracting a virus and does not want to return until Rome
