Despite a good opening set, tennis player Jule Niemeier lost her round of 16 match at the Bad Homburg Open. This means that no German is left in the tournament.
Jule Niemeier is the last German to be eliminated from the tennis tournament in Bad Homburg. The 24-year-old from Dortmund lost the round of 16 against the Spaniard Paula Badosa 6:4, 2:6, 1:6 on Tuesday evening. After a successful opening set in a high-class match, Niemeier then lost ground significantly.
Several double faults cost her important points. Badosa’s game, on the other hand, remained consistent. The match ended after 1:51 hours because Niemeier committed her twelfth double fault of the match on the match point of the former world number two.
The Spaniard was clearly the better player, especially in the third set on the Centre Court in Bad Homburg. In the first round of the WTA grass court tournament, Niemeier had surprisingly defeated the top seeded Greek Maria Sakkari.
Meanwhile, the 15-year-old Julia Stusek (Rheinfelden) was also eliminated in the first round on Tuesday. The young German lost to Peyton Stearns from the USA 2:6, 5:7. For Stusek, it was the first match in a main draw on the WTA tour. The world number 913 had actually failed in the qualification, but then moved into the main draw at short notice as a lucky loser after the Kazakh Yulia Putintseva withdrew.
