🔍 Match Breakdown

Ostapenko’s high-octane game always gives her a puncher’s chance, but she’s lacked rhythm for months. Her history in Stuttgart is underwhelming, and confidence appears low. Yastremska, on the other hand, is hitting with more control and discipline this year—while still packing punch when needed.

If Ostapenko catches fire early, she can dominate. But if the match turns into a rhythm battle or stretches into long rallies, Yastremska’s cleaner baseline patterns and recent composure could tilt the outcome in her favor.

🔮 Prediction

Pick: Dayana Yastremska to win in 3 sets

The edge in momentum and court balance gives the Ukrainian an advantage, especially if she stays patient and plays smart against Ostapenko’s aggression.
