Rybakina Dominates Andreeva to Reach Stuttgart Final

Elena Rybakina secured a spot in the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix final by defeating 18-year-old Mirra Andreeva 7-5, 6-1 in Stuttgart. Rybakina, the 2026 Australian Open champion, will face Karolina Muchova in the final, airing on Sky Sports Tennis. The match was closely contested, with both players trading breaks in the first set before Rybakina's experience took over, allowing her to take the lead. Rybakina then dominated the second set, winning the first five games to claim a composed victory. 'I'm thrilled to be in the final, especially after missing this tournament last year,' Rybakina said. Despite limited rest after her quarter-final match against Leylah Fernandez, which lasted over three hours, Rybakina was pleased with her performance. 'I'm happy with how I played considering the long match yesterday,' she added. Earlier, Flavio Cobolli advanced to the ATP 500 Munich final by defeating world No. 3 Alexander Zverev 6-3, 6-3. Cobolli, who fired 32 winners and lost just eight points on his first serve, will face Ben Shelton in the final. 'It was one of my best matches, and I'm really happy with my performance,' Cobolli said. His victory makes him the third player this season to reach ATP Tour finals on both clay and hard courts.
