Hamburg's last player to reach the round of 16 was Ella Seidel. The 19-year-old surprised with a 6:1, 6:1 win over Russia's Ekaterina Makarova on the Centre Court at the Rotherbaum Stadium. On Wednesday, she will face her club teammate Eva Lys from the Club an der Alster on home soil. "I would have preferred this later in the tournament. We're both in great form, so it should be a good match," said Seidel.
