Siniaková loses to Pera in German Open quarterfinals

Czech tennis star Kateřina Siniaková was beaten by the USA’s Bernarda Pera in the quarterfinal of the Hamburg European Open (formerly the German Open) on Thursday afternoon, despite the fact that the opponents have previously met four times on the WTA court and Pera had never won a single match against Siniaková before.

The American tennis player beat Siniaková 6-3, 6-1 at Am Rothenbaum in Hamburg and will now face the Belgian Maryna Zanevska, the No 7 seed, in the next round, having reached the last four of the tournament. With this defeat, there are no more Czech women left in the WTA Tour.
