Elena Rybakina, presently 4th in the World ranking, emanated her dominance at the Tennis Grand Prix event in Stuttgart where she secured her third WTA Tour title of the year. Eventually, Rybakina trounced Marta Kostyuk in the convincing final match. Kostyuk was unable to handle Rybakina’s relentless baseline aggression and laser-like serve. Rybakina exhibited superb stamina and talent throughout the tournament, proving her ability to control the match and be the dominant player.
Her road to next stage included a historical victory over World No.1 Iga Swiatek in which she also broke Swiatek’s streak of ten straight wins and became a promotion into a title challenger. That was while Kostyuk was going off balance in spite of all the counterblows that the intense shock of the rivalry was tossing in her way. Despite her strongest stay, it proved to be of no avail as Kostyuk eventually lost to Rybakina due to her higher level of play and determination.
A third-time win for Rybakina in Stuttgart may be regarded as a significant contribution to her list of credentials. Rybakina’s triumph in winning the WTA tour’s eight titles of which three were on clay courts proves that she is a great tennis player on record-breaking achievement with the array of knowledge and skills she possess.
Her winning in Stuttgart is quite remarkable, as placing herself at the top of the tour she now also led in titles with Stuttgart being added to her victories in Brisbane and Abu Dhabi. And while she consistently plays well and does not lose focus, Rybakina managed to establish herself as one of the main favorites to take home the women’s tennis champion title.
On her way back to Germany with another trophy in her cabinet, Rybakina still enthralls the fans and even the competitors at her court with her dominance. With sights set on the next victory she will establish in the upcoming tournaments, Rybakina is an appropriate antagonist in the world of tennis.
