 Iggish Fiontech vs Arena Sabalenka is the final of the Stuttgart Open for 2023. And we're getting a rematch of last year's final from 2022. Sabalenka started the tournament off as the number two seed and would get a buy in the first round. In the second round she'd take on Krajikava, a lady she'd played in her last four tournaments, including this one, but this time Sabalenka would win, really easily, 6-2-6-3 to get to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals she'd take on Wildcard and best friend Pelibodosa. And after being down a set and a break, Sabalenka would fight back to win 4-6-6-4-6-4 to get to the semifinals. In the semifinals, Sabalenka would take on the unseeded Potipova, who had just taken out Goff and Garcia to get to this stage. There was no problem for Sabalenka getting through in straight sets, 6-1-6-2 to advance to another final. Fiontech started the tournament off as the number one seed and would get a buy in the first round. In the second round she'd take on Zheng, a player that she had to fight last year a couple of times in some close matches. This was no problem for Fiontech getting through in straight sets, 6-1-6-4. In the quarterfinals she'd take on Pliskeva, who had taken out Sakri and Vekic to get to this stage. And this was brutal for Fiontech starting down 4-1 with Pliskeva taking the first set, having to fight back to win, eventually getting through in 3-4-6-6-1-6-2 to get to another Stuttgart semifinal. In the semifinals, Fiontech would take on the number 3 seed Jabur, who she hadn't played since the US Open Final last year. But unfortunately, after injuring herself in the very first game, Jabur would have to retire at 3-1 in the first set, handing Fiontech a win to make it to another Stuttgart final. They still have played 6 times before, with Fiontech leading the head to head 4-2, including 2 matches on clay, which Fiontech has won easily. However, Sabalenka did win their last match at the WTA Finals at the end of last year, and has also won the Australian Open since their last match. If Sabalenka is going to win this one, she needs to be super aggressive and she needs to serve well. We saw Pushkova push Fiontech a couple of days ago in the quarter finals. Sabalenka is a better version of Pushkova, so she can do a lot of the same things, and maybe even trouble Fiontech in two sets, rather than just the one set that Pushkova was able to do. If Fiontech's going to win this one, she needs to play the best match she's played all week. She's a little bit a little bit shaky this week, it's been weird to see. Not playing the best tennis, even though she has got some convincing wins. But avoiding playing a tough match against Jabur might help her in the end, if it does go the distance. We get a rematch of last year's final, it's going to be an epic final, but I reckon it's going to be Fiontech winning this one in three sets. I think Sabalenka might take a set and get close, but I think Fiontech's going to weather the storm. And again, a card pick against Fiontech on clay, unless she starts losing a few more matches. But who do you think is going to win? Let me know down in the comments below in the final of Stuck Guard.
