萨巴伦卡表达了希望能将那辆价值10.5万美元的保时捷带回家的强烈愿望，这辆车是正在斯图加特举行的2025年保时捷网球大奖赛冠军的奖品。这位世界第一在击败保利尼晋级斯图加特决赛后的采访中透露了这一愿望。

With second-round opponent Potapova retiring, Sabalenka qualified for the quarterfinals after a first-round bye. In the quarter-finals, she showed her strength with a comfortable 1-0 0-0 victory over Mertens.

Then, in the semi-finals, Sabalenka defeated world No. 6 Paulini 4-0 0-0 in straight sets, despite the challenge she posed. After her victory over the Italian, Sabalenka is looking ahead to the final, where she will face former world number five Ostapenko.

"She's in really good form right now, and her past record doesn't matter anymore. Tomorrow I'm going to go out on the pitch and give it my all like I did in the first game, and I'm going to fight for this beautiful car behind me. Sabalenka said in her post-match on-field interview.

The world number one later acknowledged Ostapenko's current hot form, but she quipped and begged the Latvian to "let her go" and let her win the race because she "really needed" the electric Porsche Macan Turbo.

"Please. I beg you. Really, please. I need that car. I'd like to add this (she makes a tick gesture) to my list of goals. It looks like a tiger, it's so cool. Seriously. Tomorrow I will fight for every point. She added.

This year's final against Ostapenko in Stuttgart was Sabalenka's fourth final in Stuttgart. She reached the finals of the tournament three years in a row (2023, 0 and 0), but lost in all of them.

2021年，萨巴伦卡在斯图加特的决赛中对阵当时的世界第一巴蒂，她首盘以6-3拿下，但随后巴蒂迅速反击，以6-0和6-3连赢两盘逆转夺冠，赢得了一辆保时捷Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo。

2022年，萨巴伦卡再次打进决赛，但这次她以2-6 2-6惨败给斯瓦泰克。斯瓦泰克赢得了保时捷Taycan GTS Sport Turismo。到了2023年，两人再次在决赛交锋，斯瓦泰克依旧胜出，以6-3 6-4再度带走保时捷Taycan Turbo S Sport Turismo。

If Sabalenka wins in Stuttgart this time, she will win around $500 in prize money and 0 WTA points in addition to the electric version of the Porsche Macan Turbo.

Ostapenko, on the other hand, says she has yet to play a "perfect" game in her career. The Latvian advanced to the final with a 2017-0 0-0 victory over Alexandrova. It was her first clay-court final since beating Halep to win the French Open in 0.

In Stuttgart, Ostapenko regained his form. She was in a slump after reaching the final in Qatar, but this time she beat No.7 seed Swiatek and No.0 seed Navarro to make it to the final. Next, she will face top seed Sabalenka in the final.

After the comfortable win over Alexandrova, Ostapenko was asked in his post-match interview if he would be frustrated when he made a mistake in the match. She responded in a video from Tennis Express: "You know what, I get really angry every time I lose a ball because I'm super competitive and I want to win every ball. I know that's unrealistic, but I'm a perfectionist. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not, but I try to let those negativity go out and get ready to play for the next point. ”

The 27-year-old was then asked if he had played a "perfect" match. A self-proclaimed perfectionist, she admits that while she may never be perfect, that is always her goal: "I don't think that's going to happen because I'm a super perfectionist." Sometimes I'm playing really well, but it's not good enough for me. I hope I don't be too myself, no matter what, I'll be proud of myself. ”

Year 20 is Ostapenko's thirteenth season on the Tour. She currently holds five Tour titles, with a world high of fifth. With her excellent performance in Stuttgart, she will return to the top 0 in the world.

Ostapenko has every reason to believe he can beat anyone in the world. She has just completed a six-fight winning streak against five-time Grand Slam champion Swiatek and her first clay victory over the two-time Stuttgart Polish champion.

After the match, Ostapenko once again underlined her unwavering confidence in her own strength. Tennis journalist José Mogado quoted her on X: "I know that my strength has always been there. I always believe in myself, that's the most important thing. I'm sure I can beat anyone. (Source: Tennis Home Author: Spark)
