Elena Rybakina strolls to Stuttgart title
STUTTGART, April 21
Elena Rybakina had little trouble in seeing off Marta Kostyuk 6-2 6-2 to win the Stuttgart Open, her third title this year. Rybakina adds the Stuttgart title to her wins in the Brisbane International and the Abu Dhabi Open. For Kostyuk, this was her second final defeat of 2024 after she lost the decider of the San Diego Open. “Amazing tournament, I’m looking forward to coming back next year,” said Rybakina.
