German tennis women surprise
The German tennis women surprisingly have the best chance of making it to the final round of the Billie Jean King Cup.
First Laura Siegemund surprised, then Tatjana Maria followed up: After strong performances in the difficult away game in Brazil, the German tennis women have the best chance of making it to the final round of the Billie Jean King Cup. After the first two singles, the score in the qualifying duel in Sao Paulo is 2-0.

Siegemund initially beat the world number 13. Beatriz Haddad Maia 6:4, 6:2. Maria then met Laura Pigossi (WTA 119th) and won 2:6, 6:4, 6:4 after being down one set.
“I knew that I could really hurt her with my game. Overall, I can be quite happy with a two-set win,” said Siegemund. Team captain Rainer Schüttler slowed down with a view to the further duels: “It’s only the first day. Nothing has been decided yet, but we have a good starting situation.”
Kerber could also intervene
One more point is enough for the German team on Saturday to win the duel with Brazil. Maria meets Haddad Maia, then Siegemund takes on Pigossi.

Should there be a decisive double, returnee Angelique Kerber would also intervene. The former world number one is back in the German Tennis Association squad for the first time after her baby break.
