This was a bad loss for Sloane who was at one point a game away from winning the match.
It means that she has also missed out on qualification for the end of year tournament and most importantly has yet to win any WTA titles.
So Stefanie Vogele alongside Angelique Keber, Ana Ivanovic and Carla Suarez make up the semi - finals.
It is a pretty open tournament but I would not be surprised if Angelique Kerber won this title.
