Laura Siegemund narrowly missed the third singles title of her tennis career on the WTA Tour in Thailand. At the hard court tournament in Hua Hin, the 36-year-old lost in the final to world number 102 Rebecca Sramkova from Slovakia 4:6, 4:6. This means that for the time being, she will remain with her tournament victories in 2016 in Bastad/Sweden and 2017 in Stuttgart.

Despite the defeat, Siegemund jumped 30 places in the world rankings and is now the German number one as of Monday, ahead of Jule Niemeier and Tatjana Maria. Sramkova (27) celebrated her first tournament victory on the WTA Tour.
