“I loved the atmosphere in Stuttgart last year and am looking forward to this one”, she said.

Tournament Director Markus Günthardt was thrilled at the prospect of Swiatek returning.

“The world’s top tennis player is set to appear at the 2023 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix: Iga Swiatek, the undisputed world No. 1 in women’s tennis and the WTA’s Player of the Year, will be aiming to successfully defend the title she won this year when returning to the long-standing Stuttgart tournament in the Porsche Arena from 15 to 23 April.
