Tennis player Jule Niemeier was eliminated in the round of 16 at the WTA tournament in Linz.
The 23-year-old from Dortmund lost in the round of the top 16 to eighth seeded Anastasia Potapova 5:7, 6:3, 3:6.
This means that Niemeier, number 71 in the world, is still waiting for her first quarter-final entry this year. At the Australian Open last month, she was eliminated in the first round by world number one Iga Swiatek.
Anna-Lena Friedsam and Eva Lys are now the last Germans in the tournament in Linz. Friedsam advanced to the round of 16 on Wednesday after a 6: 2, 6: 4 against former French Open finalist Sara Errani (Italy), Lys had Kamilla Rakhimova on Tuesday with 6: 4, 7: 6 (7: 5) conquered.
In the round of the top 16 Friedsam meets Anhelina Kalinina from the Ukraine on Thursday, Lys (Hamburg) has to deal with the Hungarian Dalma Galfi. The hard court tournament in Upper Austria is endowed with 240,000 euros.
