Stuttgart Open: Ostapenko Downs Sabalenka To Win First Title On Clay Since 2017
The fourth time would be the charm either way in the Stuttgart final: either Sabalenka would drive off with her much-coveted first win after three previous losses in the title match, or Ostapenko would post her first win over Sabalenka at the fourth attempt. In the event, it was the Latvian who came out on top of a pulsating, hard-hitting battle as per WTA.
No. 24-ranked Ostapenko, who ended Miami champion Sabalenka's eight-match losing streak, improved to 3-1 overall against reigning World No. 1s. She previously defeated Garbine Muguruza at Wuhan 2017 and Iga Swiatek at the 2023 US Open. Having also ousted Swiatek in the quarterfinals this week, Ostapenko became the ninth player to defeat both Sabalenka and Swiatek in the same tournament, sixth since Swiatek first rose to No. 1 and first to do so on clay.
