Why easy if complicated is another option. Ashleigh Barty seems to be proceeding according to this motto at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix 2021. The very first set in the tournament against Laura Siegenmund turned out 6-0 without any problems, after which the German defended itself bravely. Karolina Pliskova even led with a break in the quarterfinals. And in the semifinals, Elina Svitolina seemed to be on a very good path. But again the world number one unpacked her comeback qualities - and won 4: 6, 7: 6 (5) and 6: 2.
In the final on Sunday there could be a dream duel with Simona Halep, who is in second place. However, she has to prevail against Aryna Sabalenka first.
For Barty it is the first ever appearance in the Porsche Arena. In "normal" years, the Australian only travels to Europe later. Due to the pandemic, Barty and her coach Craig Tyzzer decided to come to Europe right after winning the tournament in Miami. And to stay until the summer.
