在刚刚结束的斯图加特公开赛女单决赛中，世界排名第24位的奥斯塔彭科以6-4、6-1爆冷战胜世界第一萨巴伦卡，生涯首次捧起该站冠军，这也是她自2017年赢得法网以来的第一个红土冠军。

Ostapenko had a flawless week, beating world No.2 Swiatek in the quarter-finals, making her only player to beat both Sabalenka and Swiatek in the same tournament and the first to beat both Sabalenka and Swiatek on clay. The last person to complete the world's top two double-doubles was Andreeva of the Indian Wells Masters.

In this match, Ostapenko performed perfectly on serve, and she started to tackle Sabalenka's first serve, making it difficult for the world number one to form a coherent attack, and finally conceded 6 break points and was broken 0 times.

With the loss of this game, Sabalenka is also quite bitter, this is the fourth time she has stood in Stuttgart's final, but she still lost again, and can only watch Ostapenko drive away the Porsche sports car rewarded by the organizing committee, and what is even more exciting for the latter is that she also ended the losing streak against Sabalenka, and the record between the two sides was rewritten to 1-0!
