WTA: Siegemund fails in quarter-finals in Bucharest

Laura Siegemund was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the WTA tournament in Bucharest. The 30-year-old from Metzingen lost to number four seeded Croat Petra Martic after 3:08 hours 5:7, 6:4, 4:6 and thus missed the first semi-final entry since her tournament win in Stuttgart in April of last year.

Siegemund, who has won two tournaments on the WTA Tour so far in her career, was the only German starter in the sand court tournament endowed with 250,000 dollars.
