Laura Siegemund (Metzingen) has reached the round of 16 at the WTA tournament in Bucharest. Last year’s Stuttgart winner beat Jasmine Paolini from Italy 6-4, 6-0 in her first-round match.

In the next round, the 30-year-old will now face either eighth-placed local hero Ana Bogdan or Slovakian Anna Karolina Schmiedlova.

Siegemund, who has won two tournaments on the WTA Tour in her career so far, is the only German starter in the 250,000 dollar sand court tournament in the Romanian capital.
