Week 16 - WTA500 - Stuttgart, Germany Clay

Jajon · Strong Club Player

Ostapenko, Jabeur, Rybakina, Swiatek and then Sabalenka to win the title :)

Rich2310 · Club Coach

Really hope Emma's in a good place as this looks like another difficult week for her.

miriam abc · Intermediate Club Player

I think Emma thrives on challenges like this, there is no expectation she will get past any of these people especially on clay, so I hope for a pleasant surprise.(or I could be completely wrong!).

Stranger things have happened!!

Emma has yet to beat a top 10 player and there are four of them there. Making much progress here would be quite a challenge.

dodrade · Satellite level

I would fancy Emma's chances against Ostapenko on any other surface but the latter will be favourite on clay.

It looks as if Emma is 4th on Centre court after a 12.00 start, but Bet365 thinks she will be on court at 11 am.

Theres no crowd as that was a practice session yesterday. I actually happened to see that as it happened as I was flicking through the practice streams.

It has now finished so Emma should be on soon.

HarryGem · Club Coach

Already looking ominous.

Ostapenko teeing off winners for fun at the moment. Emma only winning points when the Latvian (just) misses. The additional week training on clay has really helped...

1-4*
