Defeated by Ostapenko (6-3, 3-6, 6-2), Swiatek exited the Stuttgart tournament in the quarterfinals. The Polish player performed worse than last year when she reached the semifinals (losing to Rybakina 6-3, 4-6, 6-3).

The world number two also continues her curse against the Riga (Latvia) native. Swiatek has now lost all six of their head-to-head matches.

The Tennis Gazette shared the 23-year-old's comments, where she compared this matchup to her clashes with Sabalenka:

"I mean, there are a lot of differences. Aryna plays a bit more logically, and she uses spin, so it’s not like she loses control. Jelena plays much more riskily and with less spin, so yes, there are many differences."

Currently in Madrid, the four-time Roland-Garros champion has a bye and will face the winner of the match between Pavlyuchenkova and Sevastova.

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.
