Top seed Ons Jabeur won the title in Berlin by walkover as Belinda Bencic suffered an ankle injury with the Tunisian leading 6-3, 2-1.
Both women – good friends – hugged at the net and were evidently disappointed the match had to end in such a way.
And as they headed over to their chairs ahead of the trophy ceremony, Jabeur went in search of an ice box to give her friend some immediate remedial treatment.
