Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek and Mirra Andreeva arrived in Stuttgart to compete for the 2025 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix title. The qualifiers for the WTA 500 event are underway, with the main draw set to begin on Monday, April 14. The event will take place at the indoor claycourts of Porsche Arena in Germany.
The winner will not only lift the coveted trophy but also gain 500 points and take home a brand new Porsche in addition to the €142,610 prize money. It has become a custom-of-sorts at the event for the winner to take the hot set of wheels for a spin around the court in a victory lap.
The Porsche Tennis channel on X regularly updates fans with the players' arrivals to share the excitement building up to the event. They welcomed "tiger" Aryna Sabalenka and shared a short clip that showed the World No. 1 receiving a bouquet and posing with a fan club holding up a banner for her.

"Hey guys this is Coco and I just arrived here in Stuttgart and I'm super happy to be playing here once again and yeah, I'll see you guys out there on the court."
The organizers acknowledged her nod to them and captioned the clip:
""I'm super happy to be able to play here once again" and we are super happy to have you here."
The 2022 and 2023 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix champion Iga Swiatek said a quick "Hi" to the cameras as she carried her Tecnifibre gear and dragged her luggage along.
The event's official channel used a waving-hand and wide-eyes emojis to greet the World No. 2 and wrote:
"Hi! Look who's arrived!"
