Laura Siegemund Stuns No. 5 Andrejewa to Reach Wuhan Round of 16

The 37-year-old German rallied in three sets with tactical variety after dropping a first-set tiebreak.

Overview

  • She won 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-3 in 3:01, closing the match on her second match point.
  • Siegemund, ranked No. 57, is the lone German still competing at the WTA-1000 event in Wuhan.
  • Mirra Andrejewa, 18 and ranked No. 5, struggled with double faults and showed visible emotional distress during the match.
  • Siegemund’s next opponent will be either Karolina Muchova or Magdalena Frech in the round of 16.
  • The victory follows a first-round exit in Beijing and continues a late-career surge that includes a Wimbledon quarterfinal this year.
