Coco Gauff and Jasmine Paolini have been added to the field for the 2026 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart. The tournament, set for April 11 to 19 in the Porsche Arena, will feature three of the world's top four players alongside Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek. The winner will receive a Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet as the prize.
The Porsche Tennis Grand Prix, a prestigious WTA 500 event, continues to attract elite talent for its 2026 edition. Coco Gauff, currently ranked world No. 4 and a two-time Grand Slam winner, will compete in Stuttgart for the fourth time since her debut in 2022. Last year, her quarterfinal appearance there served as preparation for her French Open victory four weeks later. Gauff's career highlights include her breakthrough US Open title in 2023, making her the first American teenager to win in New York since Serena Williams in 1999. She also claimed the WTA Finals in 2024 and holds 11 WTA singles titles, plus 11 in doubles, including the 2024 French Open mixed doubles with Katerina Siniakova.
Joining her is Jasmine Paolini, ranked No. 7, who reached the semifinals in Stuttgart last year. The Italian's 2024 season featured a WTA 1000 win in Dubai and runner-up finishes at Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Paolini also secured Olympic gold in doubles with Sara Errani in Paris. A Porsche enthusiast, she visited the Porsche Museum ahead of last year's event and has expressed interest in the 911 model.
The lineup already includes world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek, ensuring three top-four players on the court. Eva Lys, a rising German talent and Porsche Friend, is confirmed for the main draw. Since its start in 1978, the tournament has uniquely awarded the winner a Porsche sports car; this year, it is a 911 Carrera S Cabriolet with a 353 kW engine, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds.
Beyond the matches, the event offers side attractions like the Porsche World's exhibition, Kid’s World for young visitors, a Stuttgart Ballet performance before the final, and the Porsche Mini Tennis Grand Prix for juniors. Tickets are available via Easy Ticket Service or the official website.
