One day after her clear victory over Russia's Ekaterina Makarova, thanks to which she made it through a round on the tour for the first time since last year's French Open, Waltert was beaten 1:6, 5:7.

After the clear defeat in the first set, the 23-year-old qualifier from Chur was able to level the match in the second round. However, her second advance to the quarter-finals at a WTA event remained wishful thinking.

Waltert suffered her fourth defeat in her fifth duel against Paquet, who is six-and-a-half years older and ranked 143 places higher in the world rankings at number 106.
