During quest for first Stuttgart title, Sabalenka plays the waiting game

1 week ago | wtatennis.com | Greg Garber

It’s been 10 and one-half months since Aryna Sabalenka played an official match on clay. That was the quarterfinals at Roland Garros and resulted in a disappointing loss to teenager Mirra Andreeva. As you can imagine, after 13 hard-court tournaments (and one on grass in Berlin), the World No. 1 is just itching to get out there at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix to get this party on European red clay started.

She recently won two WTA 1000 events, Dubai and Indian Wells -- and scored back-to-back victories over the World Nos. 1 and 2 -- in the span of one month. So it’s understandable that Mirra Andreeva might be getting a little ahead of herself at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. The winner gets 500 PIF WTA Ranking points and over 142,000 Euros -- and a sleek, shiny Porsche Macan Turbo car, which is displayed on the court in Stuttgart.

Clutching the vibrant crystal trophy late Sunday afternoon, Jessica Pegula ran through the usual on-court thank-yous -- to Credit One Charleston Open owner, Ben Navarro, tournament director Bob Moran, the ball kids, the enthusiastic crowd. And then she paused and shifted into a heartfelt reminiscence. “I grew up in Hilton Head, South Carolina, going to Smith Stearns Tennis Academy,” Pegula said, voice cracking, tears appearing at the corners of her eyes.

The Hologic WTA Tour clay season opened last week with two of the longest-running events on the calendar.

Jessica Pegula, a semifinalist in Charleston the past two seasons, claimed her eighth career title -- and her first on clay -- as the top seed.

Perseverance is the theme underlining Sunday’s final at the Credit One Charleston Open. No. 1 seed Jessica Pegula lost in the semifinals here the past two years, falling to Belinda Bencic and Daria Kasatkina. But now, in her eighth appearance at this WTA 500 event, she’s into her first final. It required every ounce of her ability to defeat Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 in a brawling, banging two-hour-plus match that featured 13 breaks of serve.

Whatever the result in Friday’s final quarterfinal matchup, it was going to deliver a third American into Saturday’s semifinals. In the end, Amanda Anisimova won seven of eight points in a tiebreak and took out hometown favorite Emma Navarro 7-5, 7-6 (1) at the Credit One Charleston Open. The last time three Americans reached the semifinals at this event came in 2003. Justine Henin defeated Serena Williams in the Family Circle Cup final, ending her searing 21-0 start to the season.
