Because she was in Nottingham in the final, it became narrow for Laura Siegemund with the journey to the Bad Homburg Open. After little sleep and the first round-off-she criticized the organizers of both tournaments.
The exertions were too much for tennis player Laura Siegemund. In Nottingham she won the title in doubles on Sunday, In Bad Homburg, after an arrival overnight, one ended in round one. “It is not quite as good with two hours of sleep,” said the 37 -year -old after her 2: 6, 2: 6 against Belarussin Victoria Asarenka – and criticized the game bonds of the organizers.
Siegemund: “You can’t win there”
This is what her travel stress looked like: she got up at two o’clock at two o’clock, took an hour of bus, reported Siegemund. She took the plane at half past nine, was at the hotel in Bad Homburg at around ten o’clock, had an hour, trained shortly before her match. “You can’t prepare worse,” she said. “So in German, you can’t win there.”
In Nottingham she tried everything to play the double final before the single finale in the morning and to lay the match. So she could have traveled the evening before. “The tournament has come across,” complained the Metzinger. The organizers would have justified the television broadcast.
No further statement from Bad Homburg Open
In Bad Homburg, there would have been the possibility that they would only be playing on Tuesday, said Siegemund. However, she was informed in advance that her second-round match would be set on Tuesday, so she would start on Monday. At the time she did not know that she would move into the final in Nottingham.
The organizers in Bad Homburg did not want to comment on criticism on request. With the indication that the information on the game setting was passed on in good time, everything should be said.
Short -term wildcard
Only at short notice had Siegemund received a wildcard for the main field of the Rasmurnier in Bad Homburg, for which it was very grateful. “I would have liked to do more out of the wildcard.”
The tournaments would “not make it easy for the players to play well in doubles and still be able to perform properly in the individual next week,” complained Siegemund. Her double partner, the Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia, only has to go in singles in Bad Homburg for the first time on Tuesday.
