WTA
Three of the top women’s tennis players have already signed up for the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. The competition’s 48th edition will begin on April 12, and some of the top players in women’s tennis are expected to play to secure the ultimate prize.
That expectation has now become a reality as three top players in women’s tennis in the singles category have already signed up for the competition. Those include the world number one Aryna Sabalenka, world number two Iga Swiatek and two-time Grand Slam runner-up Italy’s Jasmine Paolini.

Sabalenka was quoted in a report in which she expressed excitement about taking part in the competition. “I am excited to play the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix 2025 in Stuttgart and hope to see many spectators,“ said the world number one. Poland’s Swiatek was also quoted in the report where she stated that the competition is one of her favourite. “The Porsche Tennis Grand Prix is one of my favourite tournaments. The Stuttgart crowd always produces a fantastic atmosphere,” she said. “It motivates us players even more to display our best tennis.”
Paolini was also quoted in the report, where she stated that she was looking forward to taking part in the competition. “I played in Stuttgart for the first time last year, and immediately felt at home,” says Paolini. “I’m looking forward to enjoying the tournament’s special atmosphere once again.”
Last year, it was the one-time Grand Slam winner Elena Rybakina who lifted the title after beating Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-2. Her triumph ended two-year dominance of Swiatek in the competition. The former world number one lifted the title in 2023 after beating Sabalenka in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-4. She won the competition in 2022 as well after beating Sabalenka in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-2.

mandoist10-02-2025 - Bencic is all business right now. If Rybakina is the ice queen, then Bencic is Antarctica—colder, sharper, and seemingly unstoppable. 🔥❄️MrAndreeva07-02-2025

- No, writer, we were not "stunned". If you knew your business you would have been aware of her statement last weekend re: her knee and retirement. The main take-away here is that Simona went out on her own terms. She surely wanted to play again after WTA & ITIA screwed her out of her final productive seasons. Personally, I believed she was going to make this announcement when I saw the President and his family in their box seats. Good for Simone -- now she can move on to other things as she said she would.mandoist04-02-2025
- It sounds seriously absurd that in Davis Cup, (unlike Grand Slams such as the Aus Open), medical time outs off court with the medical staff are not allowed?? I mean, if this was an Aus Open match, and the same thing happened to Gurin then, he would have been able to go off court for official medical time out and make an informed decision whether to resume the match or retire. How come such conditions do not apply in Davis Cup?? I mean, there with Davis Cup, it is even more like a soccer match or basketball game in that teams are playing. And so as with those, it ought to be the case in tennis that if a player needs serious medical time out, then one of the other team mates ought to substitute and each team needs to have stand-ins or understudies in case substitution is needed which will be rare but as we can see here, this kind of circumstance fits. But even if the teams do not go down the road of subbing other team mates in, in case of a health issue like the one which played out here, at least, as in the Aus Open and other Grand Slams, there ought to be time-outs with the health professionals and at the conclusion of these time-outs, the particular decision that has been reached between them and the player needs to be taken on board by the umpire. PERIOD.
Sueiyin04-02-2025 - "If Novak did this, he would be defaulted for life. WTF." 🤣 WTF sounds like What Tennis Fury?! What Tennis Flurry??! I mean, se-rious-ly, it was actually the unfairness of the silly umpire's decision that is the issue here! Further, how come it was Gurin & his team who got disqualified? If this kind of thing happens in soccer, it would be the other guy getting the yellow or red card! Because after all, it was the Belgian who's foul it was so why then penalize the opponents for something they didn't instigate? Fouls in both basketball and soccer are read as a hinderance that has been caused by the player who INITIALLY instigated the hinderance. In this case, okay, it is tennis, but while the precise rules are different to either soccer or basketball, the same type of recognition as to whoever instigates a hinderance should apply, and in this case, it was the Belgian player.Sueiyin04-02-2025
