Good news for Jil Teichmann (WTA 38) who really needs it at this gloomy end of the season. The left-hander was drafted into the WTA 500 tournament in San Diego as a “lucky loser”.
Beaten on Sunday in the second qualifying round by the American Caroline Dolehide (181), Jil Teichmann benefited from the withdrawal of the Russian Veronika Kudermetova (12) to appear in the main draw.
Facing Stephens
She will face this Tuesday Sloane Stephens (52), the 2017 US Open champion, who beat her 6-2 6-0 this spring in the round of 16 at Roland-Garros for their only confrontation to date.
Teichmann has a record of five wins once morest ten defeats since his Paris career.
