Q/Finals in Stuttgart,

O.Jabeur (7) vs P.Badosa (2)
L.Siegemund vs L.Samsonova
E.Raducanu (8) vs I.Swiatek (1)
A.Kontaveit (5) vs A.Sabalenka (3)

All look interesting for different reasons, maybe except for Siegemund v Samonova, who I'm not familiar with.

Since Miami, Clara Tauson has struggled with her health, which also meant she retired from the WTA 250 tournament in Istanbul, which is being played this week. She'll be ready for Madrid Open next week.
This is what Clara Tauson's father, Søren Tauson texted - She is back on the training field and in a good mood. Main draw in Madrid does not start until Thursday next week, so there are quite a few days left, and it provides a good opportunity to get ready for battle,

What do ya think? Sabalenka held serve to take the first set! Hurray.

Saba has been playing well , huh.. (I havent been watching any tennis since IW,, this is the NBA playoffs and no Rafa on clay no interest from me)

Saba is serving well this week. She ended the Indoor Queens (Kontaveit) streak at 22 matches, but she will face her personal kryptonite in Badosa tomorrow.

By advancing to the s/finals in Stuttgart Paula Badosa will become the new WTA world No 2 on Monday when the rankings come out.

Touting her winning ways over a qualifier & LL? Emma's gotten such a pass after winning the USO! I don't think she's won over a top 10 player yet! ;-)

Correct....though considering she has had limited time on the clay and she was facing Iga who has won RG she competed well

Saba exacts revenge on her kryptonite in straights. Moves into the final to defend her points from last year.

At first Iga was playing like she didn't want to drive off in that free Porsche, but has since regained sanity and played brilliantly in the latter stages of the decider.

Iga was really tested today by Samsonova who really did not go away all match,some great serving from her,which kept her in the match...
