“I can hardly wait to get back to Stuttgart for the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix,” says the 24-year-old Pole. “Playing the tournament is a nice tradition I have. I’m looking forward to the fantastic atmosphere in the Porsche Arena and the top-class tennis. As always, I’ll be giving my best to go as deep as possible.”

“We’re delighted that Iga has entered,” says Tournament Director Markus Günthardt. “Having a six-time Grand Slam champion is a real honour. Our audiences love Iga for her classy tennis and her tireless fighting spirit.”

She has been world ranked No. 1 for a total of 125 weeks. The Pole also set a special record when winning 37 consecutive matches between 21 February 2022 (Doha) and 27 Juni 2022 (Wimbledon). It is to date the longest WTA winning streak in the 21st century. Iga Swiatek has 25 career WTA titles to her name.
