The 2023 Indian Wells champion and Australian Open finalist Olena Rybakina (7 WTA) reached the 1/8 finals of the tournament in Stuttgart.
The athlete from Kazakhstan needed exactly one hour and 30 minutes to overtake Jules Niemeier (65 WTA).
The first set was pretty hot. The two went head-to-head until the score was 5-5, but Rybakina’s experience showed and she managed to win her first act.
In the second set, Olena Rybakina also had little emotion. Niemeyer led 3-1, but the number six favorite made an incredible comeback and won 5 games in a row.
