French Open champion Mirra Andreeva was knocked out in the round of 16 at the WTA tournament in Bad Homburg on Wednesday.
In her first appearance since her triumph at Roland Garros, the Russian was defeated 6-3, 6-4 by her compatriot Ekaterina Alexandrova.

The next Grand Slam starts in London next week.
Andreeva was seeded second at the tournament in central Germany, near Frankfurt.
