Wednesday at the 2015 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix was all about the local favorites as Sabine Lisicki, Angelique Kerber & Julia Görges all played their first-round matches, trying to join fellow German Carina Witthöft in the second round of the tournament.
Lisicki & Görges started their day with a joint practice session that Sabine Lisicki completed in her usual upbeat fashion. Her trademark smile would turn into a big frown just hours later though as Lisicki suffered a massive loss against Zarina Diyas, being unable to win just a single game in front of her home crowd.
