Elena Rybakina Reaches Porsche Tennis Grand Prix Final; Zverev Falls in Munich

This weekend produced two big stories across the Tours. Elena Rybakina reaches Porsche Tennis Grand Prix final and Zverev falls in Munich made headlines.

Rybakina books Stuttgart final

Elena Rybakina beat 18-year-old Mirra Andreeva 7-5, 6-1 in Saturday’s semi-final in Stuttgart. The match featured several exchanged breaks in a tight opening set.

Rybakina used her experience to seize the first set. She then won the first five games of set two to run away with the match.

Rybakina is the 2026 Australian Open champion and the 2024 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix winner. She missed the event last year and said she was glad to return.

Her semi-final followed a three-hour quarter-final against Leylah Fernandez. Rybakina slept late after that match but reported feeling prepared for the semi-final.

She will face Karolina Muchova in Sunday’s final. The match is scheduled from midday with live coverage details available at Filmogaz.com.

Cobolli shocks Zverev in Munich

In Munich, Flavio Cobolli defeated world No. 3 Alexander Zverev 6-3, 6-3 in the ATP 500 semi-final. The result ended Zverev’s title defence at the event.

The 23-year-old Italian produced 32 winners and lost only eight points on his first serve. It marked his first career win over a top-five opponent.

Cobolli became emotional after the victory. He described it as one of his best performances and noted the difficulty of playing a close friend.

Cobolli will face Ben Shelton in Sunday’s final, scheduled from 2pm. He won an ATP 500 title in Acapulco earlier this year and seeks another big trophy.

The win moved Cobolli up to 12th in the live ATP rankings. He is now chasing his fourth ATP Tour title and his third at the ATP 500 level.
