Mona Barthel is the first player from the DTB squad to reach the final qualification round. Antonia Lottner, on the other hand, was eliminated.

Barthel won against Silvia Soler-Espinosa from Spain 4:6, 7:6 (6), 6:0 after a big fight and thus plays for a place in the main field. Soler-Espinosa had a match point on his own serve during a 6:5 lead in the tiebreak of the second set.

Barthel will now face Francesca di Lorenzo from the USA, who beat Antonia Lottner 6-4, 7-5. Still in action: Tamara Korpatsch against the US-American Nicole Gibbs.
