Siegemund advances to round three at the US Open tennis tournament.
German Tennis Star Laura Siegemund Advances at US Open
In a dramatic turn of events at the US Open, German tennis player Laura Siegemund has made it to the third round of the tournament for the first time since 2016. This comes after her victory over Anastassija Sacharowa and the retirement of Eva Lys due to health issues.
Lys, who had been feeling unwell since the morning of her match against Linda Noskova, called for a physiotherapist during the game due to back pain. Despite saving a match point at 4-5 in the first set, Lys lost the set and ultimately retired from the match, marking the end of her US Open hopes for this year.
Siegemund, on the other hand, made a comeback after trailing 1:4 in her match. She went on to defeat Sacharowa 6:4, 6:2, showcasing her resilience and determination on the court.
The 33-year-old Siegemund is the last remaining German participant in the women's singles at the US Open. She will face Jekaterina Alexandrova in the next round.
Eva Lys, who has been dealing with her rheumatoid autoimmune disease, had already withdrawn from a preparation tournament for the US Open due to back pain before the quarterfinals. Her retirement from the tournament this year is another setback in her career, a situation she described as "one of those situations I have to deal with."
Lys's autoimmune disease has affected her in the past and held her back. Despite this, she has continued to compete in tennis tournaments, showing great courage and determination.
As for Siegemund, there are no specific reports detailing any special training or nutritional measures she applied at the US Open that allowed her to reach the semifinals. However, her performance at Sporteurope.tv was praised by Barbara Rittner, adding to the excitement surrounding her progress in the tournament.
This year's US Open is proving to be an exciting event, with unexpected twists and turns. As the tournament progresses, fans will be eagerly watching to see if Siegemund can continue her winning streak and make it to the finals.
