00:00Do we have tails or heads?
00:01Heads.
00:02Heads it is.
00:03Please.
00:07It is tails.
00:08Receive.
00:09Receive.
00:10Perfect.
00:10And the photo please.
00:13Looking for a first play title.
00:26Well, did well to get there.
00:29Mugiva but the drop shot that she played.
00:47Yeah, always in defensive mode there.
00:50Mugiva with Akina was letting rip with the forehand and the backhand.
01:05And the problem Mugiva has as well.
01:08Akina confident with the dry volley.
01:16Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:39Lovely touch.
01:40Yeah, Mugiva knows that she can weave a bit of the magic still and she needs.
01:54Yeah, and also whoever's won the first set.
02:05Oh, and she's dumped it long.
02:08Well, Mugiva just about gets over the line in this opening set.
02:13She was in charge for so long.
02:16But she bided a time when Mugiva tried to level up at 6-0 and nicked it.
02:23Takes it 7-5.
02:33But then Mugiva's forehand can also be pretty brutal.
02:43It is a second Stuttgart title for Alina Uwebekina.
02:49She just loves it when she comes here.
02:53She won last time two years ago.
02:56And she has powered past Karolini Mugiva in the final to win again.
03:02She started set one so well.
03:05Mugiva fought back valiantly, but Ribikina took it 7-5.
03:09But when she got in front in set two, Ribikina did not look back.
03:13An emphatic win, 7-5, 6-1.
03:18They really are quite spoiled during this week.
03:23And the car they win as well at the end.
03:25I mean, it's a very attractive tournament in every sense of the word.
03:29It's been running now nearly 40 years.
03:32And the players just love to come here.
03:35And yeah, the car is a lovely bonus.
03:40Of course it is.
03:42But winning a prestigious event like this, it's great to have on the CV.
03:46And yeah, Ribikina's now got two Stuttgart titles to her name.
03:51And I'm sure she'll come back for the hat-trick of cars in years to come.
03:54No doubt about that.
