German Hopefuls Niemeier and Siegemund Bow Out in Wimbledon

Out for German women in Wimbledon: Niemeier and Siegemund fight in vain

Jule Niemeier leafed through her light blue notebook, seeking help, Laura Siegemund fought relentlessly until the last ball – but it wasn’t enough: The Wimbledon grass court classic is also over for the two remaining German hopefuls. Daniel Altmaier was unable to take advantage of a real opportunity.

Siegemund annoyed the 2022 winner Elena Rybakina for a long time and, despite her 3:6, 6:3, 3:6 defeat, once again proved her qualities as a competitor. Niemeier was clearly inferior to the savvy semi-finalist from last year, Elina Svitolina from Ukraine, in a 3:6, 4:6 defeat. The bottom line is that no German player is in the third round of the classic. Angelique Kerber, Eva Lys and Tamara Korpatsch failed in the first round.

Niemeier is also counting on this, as she seems to be on a positive path again after a difficult year in 2023. But she ultimately made too many avoidable mistakes against top player Svitolina. Hopes of another run like in 2022, when Niemeier made it to the last eight, were dashed.

Siegemund fought as hard as ever and even got former national coach Barbara Rittner on the Prime Video microphone. “She just plays different tennis, she’s thought about something,” said Rittner. But Rybakina had the last word. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

On Friday, the eyes of German tennis fans will be on Struff, who is battling against Daniil Medvedev from Russia for a place in the round of 16. If everything goes perfectly for the football fan, he might even be able to watch Germany’s European Championship match against Spain that evening with a victory of his own under his belt.
