Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina beat Karolina Muchova in straight sets to clinch victory at the indoor clay-court tournament in Stuttgart.<\/b><\/p>\n

World number two Rybakina came through a close first set against her Czech opponent and raced through the second to wrap up a 7-5 6-1 victory in one hour and 18 minutes.<\/p>\n

It is the 26-year-old’s second title of 2026, following her Australian Open success in January.<\/p>\n

It is also the second time she has won the event in Stuttgart, which has a Porsche car as part of the winner’s prize.<\/p>\n

When she previously won the title in 2024, she was initially unable to drive that year’s prize as she did not have a driving licence at the time.<\/p>\n

“I want to say a big thanks to my team, without you guys it wouldn’t be possible,” said Rybakina. “Thank you for always pushing me to do better and improve every day.”<\/p>\n

Muchova’s run to the final followed her victory at February’s Qatar Open and will leave her just outside the top 10 in the world rankings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
