Six German men and five women are in the main field of the Masters tournament – and it will stay that way.

Andrea Petkovic was able to turn the game against Nicole Gibbs in round one on Monday after a messed-up start, but against Taylor Townsend she was on Tuesday in front of – for qualifying conditions – an impressive backdrop without a chance. The multi-variant US-American won against “Petko” 6:3,6:2 and is therefore in the main draw. At the beginning of qualifying Sabine Lisicki had already been kicked out.

In the men’s event, only Yannick Hanfmann played for a place in the main competition. However, he also had to drop his sails at the start – he lost 2:6,5:7 against Vincent Millot.
