Coco Hauf, Kateryna Aleksandrova eliminated at WTA Berlin

Roland Garros-2022 finalist Gauff started the first set well and led the Russian, but in the end the balance was broken and Alexandrova won three games in a row.

The second set was uneventful, with the American dropping three serves and it didn’t matter, going down 0-0.

Kateryna Alexandrova, the winner of WTA ‘s-Hertogenbosch (Netherlands) less than a week ago, will meet the winner of Aryna Sabalenko (2 WTA) and Veronika Kudermetova (13 WTA) in the quarters.

The German Open is a WTA 500 tournament that takes place on grass in Berlin. The tournament will be held from June 19 to 25, and the total prize pool is $780,637. Last year’s champion was Ons Zhaber.
