Bernarda Pera extended her winning streak to 11 matches with a win over Maryna Zanevska and she will face Anett Kontaveit in the Hamburg European Open final.
The 27-year-old American lost 5 consecutive matches before arriving in Budapest for the event qualifier. She won a couple of matches to get into the main draw and then produced a superb effort to win her maiden trophy there. She extended that winning streak in Hamburg and by defeating Maryna Zanevska 6-2 6-4, Pera sealed the final.
She's on a 11-match winning streak with a chance to make it 12 in a row against Kontaveit. For Kontaveit this run comes at the perfect time because the Estonian player struggled for a very long time before finally stringing together a couple of wins. She split with her coach Dmitry Tursunov in the meantime as well and it's been a troublesome time for her.
Beating Potapova on clay is not an easy task but Kontaveit passed the test setting up the final. This will be a chance to win her 7th career trophy in her 16th final. The Estonian won their only meeting so far 7-5 6-1 at Wimbledon.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
