    Tournament Director Markus Günthardt “Full arena and fantastic atmosphere” The Porsche Tennis Grand Prix is also setting standards one year after its 40thjubilee. Eight Top 10 players and 15 from the Top 20 will once again produce a bit of a Grand Slam feel in the Porsche Arena. Markus Günthardt’s expectations are however much higher. “It’s not the excellent main draw field alone that makes a tournament,” he says. “For me as the tournament director, what counts above all is a full arena and a fantastic atmosphere no matter who’s on court.” Speaking ahead of the 41stedition of the long-established Stuttgart tournament in the Porsche Arena, he talked about… … the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix as a crowd puller: “We’ve got a fabulous crowd in Stuttgart and one that has remained loyal over many years. The people are obviously happy with the product we offer them year in, year out and can hardly wait until play starts again in the Porsche Arena. Proof is provided by the fact that people buy their tickets earlier and earlier and most of the days are therefore sold out months in advance. For us, the high degree of popularity is not only proof of the trust they have in us but also an obligation to work hard so that it all stays the same way in the future too.” … the increased expectations of the spectators and the efforts to fulfil them: “World class tennis alone doesn’t suffice to fill a hall in the long run. Most visitors spend the whole day at the venue.
