The World No. 9 Russian made this carefree declaration after dispatching defending champion Jelena Ostapenko in the first round of the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, it&#8217;s become a tradition of sorts for the winner of the annual Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart to be handed over the keys for the champion&#8217;s swanky new car followed by a brief spin on the Porsche-Arena&#8217;s main court.

So I just kept believing in myself and was trying to grab any opportunity I have, and slowly, point by point, I felt like I&#8217;m coming back.
