Aryna Sabalenka corrected Anastasia Potapova (6-1, 6-2) this Saturday and will play a third consecutive final on clay in Stuttgart. She will face either Iga Swiatek or Ons Jabeur in the title match.
Unfortunate finalist in 2021 and 2022, then beaten respectively by Ashleigh Barty and Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka will have a third chance to claim the title in Stuttgart on Sunday. The world number 2 did not drag to snatch the first ticket for the final. It took place in an hour of play, all stacks, once morest Anastasia Potapova (6-1, 6-2), powerless once morest the Belarusian tornado. Always very aggressive in play and on serve, Sabalenka showed the fangs from the start and won the first five games, including two on the service of his opponent who unlocked his counter following 28 minutes. The first set was already folded and the higher ranked of the two players sealed the outcome of it following saving two break points in the following game.

Sabalenka left Potapova nothing
Behind, the 24th in the world had no hope of overthrowing this game in the second set. The scenario of the inaugural round repeated itself. They lost the first two games without scoring a single point and trailed 4-0 before making the note less salty once morest her rival, who rose in power and lost only three points (out of 19) in this second round on her face-offs. The match point – a service winner – came sort of sum up Sabalenka’s overwhelming dominance. Fallout of Barbora Krejcikova and Paula Badosa earlier this week, the winner of the Australian Open has already won a 23rd match in 2023 out of 26 played and hopes to see this total improve in less than 24 hours, in the final ahead of Iga Swiatek , world number 1, or Ons Jabeur, recently titled in Charleston. This will already be his fourth final this season.
