The Italian is constantly on Siegemund’s side on the women’s tour. He not only gives her professional tips, but also mentally at her side.

She is now a member of Wimbledon’s elite Last 8 Club, which guarantees all quarter-final participants for lifelong tickets. The Schwäbin also collects prize money of £ 400,000 (464,000 euros). “Sensational,” said Rainer Schüttler, selection coach of the German tennis women. “Well deserved, incredibly played, mixed with slice, topspin, stop, she gave the opponent no rhythm, sensational and perfect.”
