At the Masters in Cincinnati, Ella Seidel faces a top ten player-and the match takes an unexpected course.

Ella Seidel caused a surprise at the Masters tournament in the US state of Ohio and celebrated the greatest success of her career so far. The 20 -year -old Hamburg native defeated Emma Navarro from the USA 6: 4, 1: 6, 6: 4. The world ranking-124. A 1: 4 deficit in the decisive set.

In the previous round, Seidel had already won Kudermetowa as an outsider against Polina. By moving into the third round of the tournament, endowed with around $ 5.2 million, she is now the last German player in the field.

In the next game, Seidel meets the American Caty McNally or McCartney Kessler. Previously, Laura Siegemund, Eva Lys and Tatjana Maria had left.
