Home tennis player Alexander Zverev lost in straight sets to Chile's Cristian Garin, of course this is a disappointing result because he is the first seed in ATP Munich.
WTA Stuttgart, Iga Swiatek has the opportunity to win her third title in this tournament after making it to the semifinals and she will face Elena Rybakina, not so sure that Swiatek will face obstacles to get to the final because Rybakina, although impressive this year, had to lose two sets to get to the semifinals so her performance wasn't very good here and she said it was quite difficult because the ball was slow on this surface.
The surprising thing was Aryna Sabalenka who lost to Marketa Vondrousova, so far Sabalenka has not had good results apart from AO, and also Coco Gauff lost to Marta Kostyuk, if Swiatek makes it to the final it looks like she will face an easier opponent later.
This was a very unexpected result from the match of Zverev. And what was more surprising was that him being unable to even take one set. This type of performance was unexpected for him, especially in the quarterfinals of the competition. Garin should not be able to win against Fritz in the semifinals but we'll see what happens.
Swiatek vs
Rybakina This is definitely going to be very competitive. Yes I think in the end it is going to be a win for Swiatek but we have seen what her opponent is capable of. She is definitely capable of giving a good fight for the win. And I actually disagree, I do not think it is going to be a walk in the park for Swiatek
Sabalenka losing was a little surprising. But not so surprised that it was unbelievable or something. It could happen. I guess it was more unexpected than surprising. Everyone expected her to win. But the comeback from her opponent was actually really good.
Its one set each over at Stuttgart and on serve in the 3 rd set! While looking at the score
I notice Raducanu made it to the quarter final, I believe now that ahe has been doing
well for the last few weeks, thats promising.
Barcelona - Ruud through to the final already beating Etcheverry in 2 sets. Tsitsipas
v Lakovic has just started.
Munich - final is Struff v Fritz. Struff beat Rune in two sets, 6-2 and 6-0. Rune hasnt been
in top form lately. I'll bet he was favourite to beat Struff?
