Simona Waltert (WTA 179) is denied a coup at the WTA 250 tournament in Singapore. The 24-year-old from Graubünden lost 2:6, 6:7 (3:7) to the top seeded Russian Anna Kalinskaja (WTA 18) in the round of 16.

Waltert got off to a good start and had four break chances right at the beginning. However, she was unable to capitalize on any of them and had to surrender her second service game in both sets. With her back to the wall, the qualifier from Chur turned up the heat again and managed to re-break at the last opportunity. In the end, she had to concede defeat to the favorite in the tie-break.

Waltert had made it through the first round of a WTA tournament for the first time since last July when she advanced to the round of 16.
