Karolina Muchova may have fallen far behind in the WTA world rankings due to injuries, but the Czech is always uncomfortable as an opponent. Ask Maria Sakkari, who lost to Muchova in the second round of the French Open a few days ago. However, top seeded Ons Jabeur had no problems in Berlin on Tuesday: The Tunisian won 6: 3 and 6: 3.
By the way, the matches from Berlin are available live in Germany on ServusTV and in the live stream on ServusTV On.
In round two, Jabeur now plays against the American Lycia Parks. But the big news of the day was the announced comeback of Serena Williams next week in Eastbourne and then in Wimbledon. And Ons Jabeur will also play a role in this - because she has been announced as Serena's doubles partner for Eastbourne. She can hardly believe her luck that Serena chose her as a partner.
On the other hand, number three in Berlin, Aryna Sabalenka, was eliminated. The Belarusian lost to Veronika Kudermetova in an exciting match 6:2, 5:7 and 4:6. Andrea Petkovic provided the highlight from a German perspective with her victory over Garbine Muguruza.
