    Press Release 9 December 2019

    Press Release 9 December 2019 Players vote the Stuttgart women’s tournament as their favourite event once again in 2019 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix players’ favourite tournament for tenth time Stuttgart. Valued award for the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix: the WTA Tour players have again voted the long-standing Stuttgart tournament as their favourite tournament in its category in 2019 – for the tenth time since moving to the Porsche Arena in 2006. No other tournament has won the vote conducted by the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) so often. “It’s nice that the players feel at home here and that they’ve rewarded our efforts with this honour,” said Tournament Director Markus Günthardt. “We see it as a big mark of the trust they place in us and simultaneously as a spur to continue working to make the tournament better every year.” The Porsche Tennis Grand Prix already received the award in 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016 und 2017. It shares first place in this year’s vote in the Premier 700 category along with the St. Petersburg tournament. Porsche is also involved as an official partner at the event in the Russian city. The sports car manufacturer this year once again expanded its long-time activities on the women’s professional tour. As a part of its global partnership with the Women’s Tennis Association, which was extended before the start of the season, Porsche continues to be the title partner of the “Porsche Race to Shenzhen” and as such is visible worldwide at every WTA tournament.

Fast forward to today and the Wolves are living on that promise sweeping every title coming their way. Yesterday, they clinched the pres- tigious QNB Stars League (QSL), with four games to spare lifting the Falcon Trophy for 15th time after a 3-0 victory over Umm Salal on their home turf.
