Jelena Ostapenko confirms her strong form after defeating Iga Swiatek in the Stuttgart quarterfinals. This Sunday, she overcame Ekaterina Alexandrova with a score of 6-4, 6-4, securing her spot in the tournament’s final.

This marks her 18th career final, her second in 2025, and her first clay-court final since her Roland-Garros title in 2017.

In a post-match interview, she stated: "I’m very happy to be playing here. The matches I won in three sets gave me confidence.

It was a tough match, and I’m glad I managed everything well until the last point. I take my chances on every ball—I’m a perfectionist, but I’m never 100% satisfied with myself. I need to be more forgiving toward myself."

She will face either Aryna Sabalenka or Jasmine Paolini in the final.

What if tennis lost its soul? The case of robotized officiating, between tradition and a dehumanized modernity

Omnipresent cameras, line judges on the verge of extinction, mistakes that persist nonetheless: technology fascinates as much as it divides. Tennis, at a crossroads, is still searching for its balance between progress and emotion.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
