Jelena Ostapenko enjoyed a flawless run at the recently concluded Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart, capturing the title in dominant fashion. This marked the Latvian’s ninth WTA Tour-level title, and her boyfriend couldn’t be more proud, cheering her on throughout the week.
Ostapenko had a solid start to the season. While she couldn’t clinch the Australian Open, she did reach the final at the Qatar Open, narrowly missing out on the title. A brief dip in form followed, with underwhelming runs in Indian Wells and Miami, but she bounced back impressively in Stuttgart.
The former French Open champion defeated four-time tournament finalist Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 6-1 in the final to get her hands on the trophy and also a Porsche car. Her boyfriend, who was in the stands supporting her, shared a selfie on Instagram with her holding the trophy, and the couple kissed to celebrate the win.

"First of all, guys, thank you so much for this atmosphere here. It's amazing. I just love to play here. Thank you so much," Ostapenko said.
"Thanks to my team who are always supporting me and in good and bad days, it's not always easy with me, but thank you so much for being by my side," she added.
She also sent a consoling message to Aryna Sabalenka, saying:
"Congrats [Aryna Sabalenka] on a great week! I think you hate me now because you wanted this car so badly, but I'm sure you'll get it another time, and I mean, it's great to share the court with you. You're such a champion. So, congrats to you and your team."
