“I have a question for sponsors: will I be able to get an additional car when I get to the next finale?” – Such words were spoken in 2023 by Aryna Sabalenka after a defeat in the final in Stuttgart with Iga Świątek. The Belarusian then died in the decisive battle of German competitions for the third time in her career. Earlier she also succumbed to Iga in 2022 and Ashleigh Barta in 2021. Thus, the Porsche car was already passing by the nose every time.
Świątek “lost” the third Porsche. What is delayed, it won't run away?
Świątek, however, already has two and the fans hoped that maybe in 2024 Hattrick would “shoot”. However, although a Polish woman on the local flour feels like a fish in the water, she found her concentration last year. It was Jelena Rybakina, who beat Iga in the semi -final 6: 3, 4: 6, 6: 3, and then triumphed throughout the tournament. Interestingly, the car was not the most fortune reward for her, because Kazaszka … There is no driving license.
Sabalenka will also fight. She lost three finals there
Will Rybakina fight for a car again this time? We don't know this yet, but Iga Świątek, Aryna Sabalenenko and Jasmine Paolini will definitely do it. The tournament organizers confirmed the participation of these three players in an official announcement. The Polish woman, as we mentioned, reached the semi -finals a year ago. Sabalenka lost in the quarter -finals with the Vondrousova market, while Paolini also fell in the 1/4 final in the clash with Rybakina.
