Eight WTA Top 10 players, including Sabalenka and Swiatek, confirmed for the 2025 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart. Check the full entry list.

The Porsche Tennis Grand Prix 2025 promises top-class action as eight of the WTA’s Top 10 players head to Stuttgart’s Porsche Arena from April 12 to 21. Among them are World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, and the sensational 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva.

Andreeva continues her rapid rise, having clinched two WTA 1000 titles this year in Dubai and Indian Wells — the biggest wins of her career so far. These triumphs propelled her into the Top 10 for the first time. Stuttgart will mark her debut at the event. She also claimed a silver medal in doubles at the 2024 Paris Olympics, partnering with Diana Shnaider.

Meanwhile, Sabalenka, the current WTA Player of the Year, returns to Stuttgart aiming to finally lift the trophy after finishing runner-up three times. She’ll be hoping to claim the champion’s prize: a Porsche Macan Turbo.

Two-time Stuttgart winner Iga Swiatek returns to defend her dominance on the Porsche Arena clay. The World No. 2, who also serves as a Porsche ambassador in Poland, is among the most successful players on tour with 22 WTA titles. She will be joined by American stars Coco Gauff, the reigning US Open and 2024 WTA Finals champion, and Jessica Pegula, who lifted the trophy in Austin earlier this year.

The stellar field also features Jasmine Paolini, a Grand Slam finalist at Roland Garros and Wimbledon, and China’s Qinwen Zheng, the reigning Olympic singles gold medallist. Zheng’s remarkable 2024 season includes titles in Tokyo and Palermo, a run to the Australian Open final, and a runner-up finish at the WTA Finals in Riyadh.

Another debutante, Emma Navarro — named the WTA’s 2024 Most Improved Player — is set to compete in Stuttgart following her title runs in Hobart and Mérida. She enters the tournament as World No. 10.

Seven more Top 20 players bolster the line-up, including Paula Badosa, Diana Shnaider, Danielle Collins, Beatriz Haddad Maia, Donna Vekic, Ekaterina Alexandrova, and reigning Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova.

Germany’s Eva Lys received a wildcard and will represent the host nation in the main draw.

Last year, Elena Rybakina claimed the Stuttgart crown with a dominant 6–2, 6–2 victory over Marta Kostyuk, who had stunned Coco Gauff en route to the final.

Porsche remains a cornerstone sponsor of women’s tennis, supporting the event since 1978. The brand also partners with players like Angelique Kerber and Emma Raducanu, reinforcing its deep ties with the sport.
