Jule Niemeier persevering and successful in doubles as well

Jule Niemeier gives herself - to the great delight of the spectators - the full dose of bett1open presented by ecotrans Group.

Her two qualifying matches went over three sets. Her sensational triumph over defending champion Ons Jabeur also required three sets. So it is logical how she entered the doubles competition: alongside Noma Noha Akugue, the decision against Alexa Guarachi (Chile) and Erin Routliffe (New Zealand) naturally fell in the match tie-break. There they won 11:9 after the sets had gone 7:5 and 3:6. The German doubles, they were still opponents in the first qualifying round, harmonized splendidly. "We both have a very high basic tempo in our game," Niemeier said. They also both consider their serve and forehand to be their greatest strengths. Noma Noha Akugue was pleased because "I also wanted to play well for Jule." Niemeier will now play in the singles for a place in the quarterfinals. Her opponent was determined today. It is Czech Marketa Vondrousova, who beat former US Open winner Bianca Andreescu (Canada) 7:6 and 7:5.
