The tournament has been granted official status by the WTA Tour, the
women’s professional tennis circuit, in the ‘International’ category.
It will feature 32 players for the singles competition and a draw of 16 for the doubles.
The event is designated to take place at the national tennis centre

partner with Octagon to bring the WTA Tour to the country, especially at
this time, as Swiss women’s tennis is experiencing tremendous
international success and a huge upward trend.

their players and it is exciting for the country to once again become a
world stage for tennis. We would like to extend our thanks also to Swiss

These days began The Porsche Tennis Grand Prix, which takes place in Stuttgart, Germany. Throughout the tournament you can watch many quality games, with a lot of top ranked players, like Simona Halep, Angelique Kerber, or Agnieszka Radwanska.
