Awaiting Siegemund in the round of 16 is Lucie Safarova after the 15th seed beat Bethanie Mattek-Sands 6-3 6-3.
Olympic champion Monica Puig said goodbye to Charleston, defeated 6-0 6-7 (3-7) 6-2 by Daria Kasatkina, while fourth seed Elena Vesnina was a 7-6 (9-7) 7-6 (7-3) loser against Fanny Stollar.
