Tennis: Korpatsch in China im Achtelfinale

Anna-Lena Korpatsch reaches the round of 16 in China

The German tennis player Anna-Lena Korpatsch has reached the round of 16 at the WTA tournament in Nanchang, China.

Korpatsch defeated the Chinese wildcard entry Youxiao Zhou 6:3, 6:4 on Wednesday in the first round of the tournament. In the round of 16, the German will now face the top seeded Zhang Shuai from China.

Zhang Shuai is the defending champion in Nanchang and is currently ranked 35th in the world. Korpatsch is ranked 133rd in the world.

This is the second time that Korpatsch has reached the round of 16 at a WTA tournament this year. She also reached the round of 16 at the WTA tournament in Budapest in July.

Korpatsch's victory in Nanchang is a good result for the German player. She is still looking for her first WTA title, but she is making progress.

The WTA tournament in Nanchang is a WTA 125 tournament. This means that it is a smaller tournament than the WTA 1000, WTA 500, and WTA 250 tournaments.

However, the WTA 125 tournaments are still important for players like Korpatsch. They provide players with the opportunity to gain experience and ranking points.
