"I'm not sure what to say about that" - Kontaveit left speechless after St. Petersburg Ladies Trophy win
WTA
Anett Kontaveit won her 20th match in a row at indoor events securing yet another title with this one coming after a comeback win over Maria Sakkari.
The Estonian player lost the opening set, trailed in the 2nd set but battled back to win it and did the same thing in the 3rd. Sakkari served for the match at 5-3 but lost four games in a row to lose the match and the trophy. The win was Kontaveit's 20th in a row indoors and asked about she was unsure of what to say:
"Yeah, I'm not sure what to say about that. I like to hit the ball. Indoors there's no wind,
there's no sun, there's nothing that's affecting you. But I think that
would also help everyone else. So I don't know. I don't know what it is. I can't really put my finger on it."

The final was a brilliant one and it feature a huge comeback from Kontaveit who could not really explain why it happened. She summed it up like this:
"It was such a tough battle. I was behind in the score so many times that I couldn't quite believe that I managed to pull that off. Really just so proud of myself with the way I managed to stick in the match and just keep fighting."
Kontaveit was also asked how she will celebrate and she said:
"I
genuinely haven't thought about it. I'm not going to be able to go to
Dubai because I think my body needs a few days to recover from this.
This was an intense final. I think I'll have a few days where I have to
catch up with schoolwork and maybe get to see my friends and family.
There's no massive plan right now, but I think I'll be very happy to be
able to go home and see everyone."

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- 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.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - 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 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- 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 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
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
