Elena Rybakina won Stuttgart in 2024. She also won the Australian Open this year. She reached the later stages in Indian Wells and Miami. The Porsche Grand Prix will be her first clay event of the season.
Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek are also serious threats. Swiatek won Stuttgart in 2022 and 2023. Gauff claimed the French Open in 2025 and has demonstrated strong clay form.
Mirra Andreeva arrives after a recent clay title in Linz. Elina Svitolina and Jasmine Paolini complete the group of top-10 entrants. German players such as Laura Siegemund, Eva Lys, and Ella Seidel are considered outsiders.
Context and history
The Stuttgart tournament has been staged since 2006. It moved from WTA 250 to WTA 500 status in 2022. That upgrade made it the top women’s event in Germany.
