🎾 Pegula vs Samsonova: A Tennis Marathon
In a nerve-wracking quarterfinal, Pegula faced Russian Ljudmila Samsonova. The match, lasting an arduous 3 hours and 21 minutes, saw Pegula falling short with scores of 7-6 (10-8), 5-7, 6-7 (5-7). Previously, Samsonova had claimed victory at the same tournament in 2021, while Pegula triumphed in the Grunewald event last year.
🔄 Sabalenka vs Masarova: Pause in Play
Due to a prolonged third singles match at the Steffi Graf Stadium, the enthralling quarterfinal between reigning world number one Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus and Swiss Rebeka Masarova was cut short in the evening. With Sabalenka leading 6-2, the match was suspended after 44 minutes due to the grass becoming excessively slippery. The match is scheduled to resume on Thursday.

Italian star Paolini, last year's Wimbledon finalist who is fifth in the world rankings, struggled against Tunisian Ons Jabeur, who clinched her first victory over a Top 5 player since Wimbledon 2023. The second-round match ended in a swift 6-1, 6-3 win for Jabeur, who had also claimed the Berlin title three years ago. Between them, Paolini had a first-round bye.
