Thanks to the third consecutive comeback, Ashleigh Barty conquered the eleventh trophy of her extraordinary career. After beating in three sets Karolina Pliskova and Elina Svitolina, respectively in the quarter-finals and in the semifinals, the Australian champion managed to hypnotize even Aryna Sabalenka 3-6,0-6,6-3, also affected by a problem to her right leg, in the last act of the prestigious German tournament.
She’s done it AGAIN 🏆

Barty’s emotions after the final match
Australian Ashley Barty commented on her victory at the tournament in Stuttgart.
“It’s been an incredible week, I’ve played a huge amount of matches. I think I’m starting to take my tennis to the next level. On the court, I act calm, play freely and relaxed.
I’m very proud to have my name on a par with Justine Henin and Lindsay Davenport. They are great champions, tennis legends. It’s great to share history with them.”
