Jelena Ostapenko maintained her incredible unbeaten record against Iga Swiatek with victory in the quarter-finals of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart.
The Pole must have hoped a first clash on her favoured clay would help her end her hoodoo against Ostapenko but instead the big-hitting Latvian extended her head-to-head advantage to 6-0.
Swiatek, champion in Germany in 2022 and 2023, fought back after losing the opening set but Ostapenko pulled away in the decider to win 6-3 3-6 6-2.
