Jul 30, 2024; Paris, France; Elina Svitolina (UKR) during a third round tennis match against Barbora Krejcikova (CZE) during the Paris 2024 Olympic Summer Games at Stade Roland Garros. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Aryna Sabalenka, the World No. 1, will attempt to win her first Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in her fourth attempt on Monday in Stuttgart, Germany.
She reached the final for the fourth time in five years on Sunday with a 7-5, 6-4 semifinal win over No. 5 seed Jasmine Paolini of Italy in one hour, 35 minutes.
Both players jumped out to 3-0 leads in the two sets — Sabalenka in the first and Paolini in the second. Paolini fought back to even the match at 5-5 and was serving with a chance to win the first set, but Sabalenka broke serve and served for the set.
In the second set, it was Sabalenka, of Belarus, who made the lead disappear. And she broke the Italian — serving at 4-4 — and then served out the match.
In the final, Sabalenka will meet Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia, who bounced Russia’s Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-4, 6-4 in the other semifinal. Sabalenka has a career 3-0 record against Ostapenko, including a clay-court match in Rome last season.
Ostapenko won the 2017 French Open — her only career grand slam title — on the clay courts at Roland Garros in Paris. Sabalenka, who has won three majors, has never advanced past the semifinals at the French Open.
Open Capfinances Rouen Metropole
No. 1 seed Elina Svitolina of Ukraine continued to show her strength on clay, defeating No. 3 seed Olga Danilovic of Serbia 6-4, 7-6 (8) to win the championship on Sunday in Rouen, France.
It was the 18th career title for Svitolina – the seventh on clay – and the first since May 2023. She needed just shy of two hours to defeat Danilovic of Serbia but had to save two set points in the tiebreaker to have a chance to win on her fourth match point.
Svitolina has played in 22 career WTA finals, losing only four times. She did not lose a set all week.

Liverpool scenarios: How Reds can win the Premier League title vs. Tottenham on Sunday
Getty Images Liverpool's commanding lead atop the Premier League table means that the Reds are inching closer and closer to their first title since the 2019-20 season, and that the day they officially win that trophy is right around the corner.As things stand, Liverpool have a 12-point lead on second-place Arsenal with five games to go, which makes it very unlikely that they will not end this season as England's champions. They could officially clinch the title as soon as this weekend, a signal title race is still very much in Liverpool's hands, and they will be able to win it outright when they return to play on Sunday.The Reds' impressive lead comes five years after their last Premier League title, which was the only time they won the accolade, coming during Jurgen Klopp's storied eight-year spell as the manager.

WATCH: USMNT star Christian Pulisic scores his 16th goal of season for AC Milan in win vs. Venezia
Getty Images Christian Pulisic scored the opening goal for AC Milan in Sunday's match against Venezia just a few days after winning 3-0 in the Derby della Madonnina in the Coppa Italia semifinal second leg against Inter. Pulisic, who joined AC Milan in the summer of 2023, has now scored his 16th goal with AC Milan during the 2024-25 season with the Rossoneri, marking what's already his best season of his career in terms of goals scored. The U.S. international scored 15 goals in all competitions in his first year at the club, but was able to surpass that in his second season at the club despite the disappointing season of the team, now coached by Portuguese manager Sergio Conceicao. Here's the goal from the 2-0 win: Up to now, Pulisic scored 10 Serie A goals, including the one against Venezia, […]
