Siegemund advances to the third round of the US Open tennis tournament.
Laura Siegemund Continues Winning Streak at US Open
German tennis star Laura Siegemund is making waves at the US Open, securing her place in the third round of the tournament. The 37-year-old defeated compatriot Anastassiya Sakharova in the second round with scores of 6:4, 6:2.
Siegemund's victory comes as no surprise, given her impressive form leading up to the US Open. She had previously triumphed at the grass classic in London and at Wimbledon. This winning streak continues her success from the grass courts of London and Wimbledon.
Siegemund's match against Sakharova was not without its challenges. She found herself in a 1:4 deficit during the game, but managed to turn the tide, showcasing her resilience and determination. Despite a bandaged thigh, Siegemund persevered and emerged victorious.
Unfortunately, fellow German tennis player Lys had to retire from her US Open match due to health issues, trailing 4:6, 0:3 against Czech Linda Noskova. Lys, who has been battling rheumatoid autoimmune disease, has been struggling with her health recently.
Siegemund's next opponent in the US Open will be Ekaterina Alexandrova, a compatriot of Anastassiya Sakharova. The match between these two is scheduled for Saturday. Siegemund will be hoping to continue her winning streak and advance further in the tournament.
It's worth noting that this is the first time since 2016 that Siegemund has reached the round of 32 at the US Open. In 2025, she made history by reaching the Wimbledon quarterfinals at the age of 37, a remarkable achievement in the world of tennis.
Siegemund's journey at the US Open has been filled with determination and grit, qualities that have served her well throughout her career. Fans and tennis enthusiasts alike will be eagerly awaiting her match against Alexandrova this Saturday.
