WTAFriday, 01 March 2024 at 08:00
Reigning US Open champion Coco Gauff is the latest Grand Slam champion to join the stacked field at the 2024 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart.
The WTA 500 tournament, which runs from April 15-21, 2024, previously announced World No.1 Iga Swiatek, Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka and Wimbledon winner Marketa Vondrousova for the event. Gauff will add more star-power to the already impressive list of players, with the winner receiving a hefty check and a brand new Porsche sports car.
Gauff hoping to improve on previous record in Stuttgart
The American has a poor record at the event, with her best result being a second round performance at last year's edition. However, Gauff has made vast improvements to her game over the past year, winning the 2024 US Open title and reaching a career-high ranking of World No.3 in the process.
“I am excited to kick off the clay court swing in Stuttgart,” she told the official Porsche website. “I have had a lot of success on the clay and I think Stuttgart provides the perfect week with great hospitality to start the European season. The Porsche Tennis Grand Prix is still a tournament I can improve on and I am up for the challenge!”
The Porsche Tennis Grand Prix is the first clay-court event for big-name players on tour, with three-time Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber and 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu also signed up to participate at the event.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
