World No. 9 Maria Sakkari, the top seed at the Bad Homburg tournament, exits the competition after her opening match.

In the first round, the Greek player faced Germany's Jule Niemeier, who is ranked 96th in the world rating.

The match lasted 2 hours and 36 minutes. During the encounter, Sakkari served 6 aces, committed 4 double faults, and converted 4 break points.
