Iga Swiatek still can't find a way past Jelena Ostapenko, falling to the Latvian in Saturday's quarterfinals of the WTA 500 in Stuttgart (6-3, 3-6, 6-2).

Facing her nemesis on tour, Swiatek was the underdog in this match, even though it was their first-ever encounter on clay.

The Pole was far from her best on serve (50% first serves, 8 double faults) and ultimately succumbed to Ostapenko's powerful game, exemplified by the match point where the Latvian gradually forced the world No. 2 into an error.

With this sixth career win over Swiatek, Ostapenko advances to her first-ever semifinal in Stuttgart. She will face Ekaterina Alexandrova tomorrow for a spot in the tournament final.

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.
