Contents
The annual Porsche Tennis Grand Prix event is upon us. It marks the beginning of the European clay-court season, attracting top-ranked players from around the world. This time is no different as nine of the top ten WTA stars will flock to Stuttgart for this prestigious tennis tournament.
All eyes will be on Iga Swiatek who returns as a defending champion and the top seed. She will join the exclusive club of Martina Navratilova, Martina Hingis, Kim Clijsters, Lindsay Davenport, Maria Sharapova and Angelique Kerber to successfully defend their titles in Stuttgart.
The Polish ace made her debut last season and steamrolled past opponents to clinch the title. Aryna Sabalenka was made to pay for her mistakes as she was routed 6-2, 6-2 in the final. All eyes will be on Swiatek for a repeat of her remarkable effort. It will not be easy as Sabalenka returns for revenge.
Other luminaries in the star-studded lineup include Ons Jabeur, Petra Kvitova, Coco Gauff and Elena Rybakina, among others. While not plying her trade to her potential since her US Open win, Emma Raducanu has also been awarded a wild card entry, making the road to the clay courts title tougher.
The doubles competition at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix is also highly competitive, with top-ranked pairs vying for the title. In the previous edition, Demi Schuurs and Desirae Krawczyk emerged as the champions, defeating Coco Gauff and Zhang Shuai in the final with a score of 6-3, 6-4.
The prize money entices the pros and makes the event all the more exciting for the fans. Let’s take a closer look at how the prize money is distributed at the WTA Stuttgart, and how the WTA stars stand on making given their progress. So let’s dive in!
