At the women’s tennis tournament in Stuttgart, the winner won not only a nice trophy and a check for $156,000, but also a gleaming Porsche, the automobile manufacturer being the main sponsor of the WTA event. A very beautiful car that has escaped Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka three times, since she lost in the final match in her last three appearances.

And the friendly world number 2 seems to stick to it, to her Porsche.
In her post-match thanks, after being defeated by the queen of the circuit, the Polish Iga Swiatek (6-3, 6-4), Sabalenka went there with a plea to the organizers: “Is can we make a deal? If I make another final here, can I still have a Porsche? she launched on the ground, laughing, Sunday.
While indicating that she loved this tournament, Sabalenka added that she was “tired of [le] leave without the car!”
Then, Sabalenka pretended to hit Swiatek’s new car with his runner-up trophy.
But in the end, it was indeed Swiatek who was able to take a lap of honor on the clay court of the indoor stadium.
The latter is starting to get used to driving cars from the German brand: she was also the one who defeated the Belarusian in the final last year, in what she described as “one of the best performances in his career”.
This time, however, she will hand over the victory to her dad Tomasz.
