Protecting Game Balls: Detailing the Efforts
German Tennis Star Ella Seidel Shines at Cincinnati Masters
Ella Seidel, a 20-year-old baseliner from Munich, has made a name for herself in the tennis world with her impressive performance at the Cincinnati Masters. With a career record of 140-93 and no WTA titles yet, Seidel has proven that she is a force to be reckoned with.
A Stellar Debut at WTA 1000
Seidel's best result to date is reaching the Round of 16 at the 2025 Cincinnati Masters, marking her debut in a WTA 1000 main draw. In this tournament, she notably upset seeds Emma Navarro and McCartney Kessler before falling to Varvara Gracheva.
A Battle Against Kessler
The match between Seidel and Kessler was a fierce one, lasting for 2 hours and 24 minutes. Seidel won the first set despite a nervous start, but Kessler dominated the second set after a break. The third set was a nail-biter, won by Seidel after a tiebreak, and a remarkable save of two match points.
A Surprising Comeback
Seidel's success in Cincinnati is surprising given that she hadn't yet regained top form after an injury. Her strong serve played a crucial role in her ability to fight back in the third set.
Looking Ahead
As of August 20, 2025, Seidel is scheduled to play former world No. 73 Sachia Vickery in the first round of the US Open qualifying tournament. This follows her strong summer form highlighted by her Cincinnati performance and an initial US Open qualifying win over Kathinka Von Deichmann.
Alexander Zverev, the only remaining German player in the WTA tournament, will play against American Brandon Nakashima in the early hours of Wednesday morning (German time).
