14 Apr
Summary
- Top WTA stars attended the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix players' party.
- Coco Gauff seeks her first Stuttgart title; Iga Swiatek aims for a comeback.
- Sabalenka and Rybakina withdrew, making Gauff a favorite.
The official players' party for the 2026 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart saw WTA stars, including Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek, embracing glamour. This prestigious WTA 500 clay event serves as a crucial preparation ground for the French Open, with players aiming to peak in fitness and form.
Coco Gauff, the World No. 3, is considered a favorite for the Stuttgart title, a sentiment bolstered by the withdrawals of top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina. Despite her success on clay, Gauff is yet to win in Stuttgart, with her best performances being quarterfinal appearances in 2024 and 2025.
Iga Swiatek, a two-time former champion of this event (2022 and 2023), is seeking to return to winning ways. Her new coach, Francisco Roig, will guide her as she aims to replicate past successes, having defeated Sabalenka in both previous finals.
Last year's tournament saw an unexpected victory by Jelena Ostapenko, who also defeated Sabalenka in the final. The event promises a compelling display of talent as players vie for supremacy on the clay courts.
