Friedsam misses the first match point
The German tennis women award the first match point to advance to the final round. In the duel with hosts Brazil, it’s now up to Laura Siegemund.
The German tennis women have awarded the first match point for a place in the final round of the Billie Jean King Cup.

On Sunday night German time, it’s up to Laura Siegemund. With a win over Laura Pigossi she can get the third point she needs. If Brazil equalizes, a double must decide the match. Then returnee Angelique Kerber would probably also intervene. The former world number one is back in the German Tennis Association squad for the first time after her baby break.
Team captain Rainer Schüttler’s German team opened the qualifying round with two wins: Siegemund first beat Haddad Maia 6:4, 6:2, then Tatjana Maria won against Pigossi 2:6, 6:4, 6:4.
