The 34-year-old won against the Ukrainian Anhelina Kalinina after a hard-fought 2:21 hours 6: 2, 4: 6, 6: 2. As a result, Siegemund got beyond the first round of a WTA tournament for the first time since April in Stuttgart. There she was eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Siegemund now meets Liudmila Samsonova at the dress rehearsal for the US Open (August 29th to September 11th). Siegemund is the only German starter in Cleveland.
