Fourth seed Elina Svitolina was all smiles as she flaunted her engagement ring during a press conference. The Ukrainian got engaged to fellow tennis player Gael Monfils earlier this month.
Our Jimmie48 made sure to capture a closeup of the ring.
Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova recovered from a set down on her main-draw debut in Stuttgart to defeat Czech Karolina Muchova 4-6 6-2 6-3.
Muchova is clad in new Adidas collection, just as doubles partners Angelique Kerber and Andrea Petkovic.
