Navratilova, 37, saved six match points before bowing out to the 19-year-old German after an enthralling quarterfinal which lasted two hours and 20 minutes.
In her second professional tournament, Switzerland's Martina Hingis, 14, fell to American qualifier Marianne Werdel, 0-6, 6-2, 7-6 in the quarterfinals.
In Tokyo, Japan, top seed Goran Ivanisevic overcame Michael Chang's brilliant service returns in straight sets Sunday in the finals of the $1 million Seiko Super Tennis tournament. The hard-serving Croatian blasted 11 aces and impressive groundstroke winners off both sides for a 6-4, 6-4 victory.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
