German women tennis flops at the WTA tournament in Miami

None of the German tennis women were seeded for the main draw of the Miami Open 2025. Eva Lys, Laura Siegemund, and Tatjana Maria had to qualify to secure their spot in the main draw.

The qualifying matches didn't go well for the three German players. Eva Lys, reaching the round of 16 at the Australian Open 2025 at the start of the year, lost to Japanese player Aoi Ito in three sets, 6:4, 4:6, and 2:6. Laura Siegemund lost to Linda Fruhvirtová from the Czech Republic in two sets, 1:6 and 2:6. Tatjana Maria also lost to Ukrainian Yuliia Starodubtseva in two sets, 4:6 and 3:6.

Consequently, no German tennis player is in the main draw of the WTA Tennis Tournament in Miami.

Struff's first-round matches: Struggles continue?

German tennis player Jan-Lennard Struff will play his opening match in Miami against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina from Spain on March 20. Struff has not found his form in the 2025 tennis season, losing his last 5 games and retiring in the first round of Phoenix, Indian Wells, Dubai, and Doha.

Davidovich Fokina, on the other hand, has been performing better in recent weeks. The Spaniard reached the final of the hardcourt tournament in Acapulco, where he narrowly lost to Mexican Tomas Machac in two sets, 6:7 and 2:6. The only previous encounter between Struff and Davidovich Fokina at the hardcourt tournament in Rotterdam last year was won by the German tennis pro in three sets, 4:6, 7:6, and 7:6.
