Porsche Tennis Grand Prix - Stuttgart

A WTA 500 played indoors on clay in Stuttgart, late in the European clay stretch before Madrid. Indoor clay plays fast for the surface, but the serve does not dominate: holds sit at 67% and aces are modest, so return games arrive often and sets rarely go the distance. Around seven in ten matches end in straights. Sharapova won it three times, with Rybakina and Swiatek on two each.
