Tennis player Jule Niemeier made it to the round of 16 at the WTA tournament in Lyon with a lot of effort.
Two weeks after her first round at the Australian Open, the Dortmund native beat the world number 133 in the first round on Monday with 7: 5, 2: 6, 6: 3. Olga Danilovic from Serbia through. In the round of 16, Niemeier meets Colombian Camilo Osorio.
Despite a strong performance in Melbourne, Niemeier was eliminated against world number one Iga Swiatek.
Last year, the 23-year-old reached the quarter-finals of Wimbledon and was in the last 16 at the US Open. Niemeier is currently 71st in the world rankings.
