Unseeded Jelena Ostapenko crushed world number one Aryna Sabalenka 6-4 6-1 on Monday to win the claycourt title in Stuttgart for her first singles trophy of the year.It was the Latvian's first title on clay since her 2017 French Open Grand Slam victory while Sabalenka has now lost four finals on Stuttgart's clay after losing the showcase match in 2021-23.

Aryna Sabalenka thought failing to deliver in the deciding moments of the first set was the turning point and ultimately led to a two-set defeat in the Stuttgart final.

World number one Aryna Sabalenka was beaten for the fourth time in the Porsche Grand Prix final on Monday when she fell 6-4, 6-1 to former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko and missed out on the sports car from the main sponsor yet again.
