The clay season kicks into high gear on the WTA Tour on Monday, as the women take to the indoor courts in Stuttgart for the 2025 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix.
Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek feature at the Top two seeds, with a total of six Top 10 players in the 28-player main draw.
2024 runner-up and two-time champion Swiatek could face Donna Vekic (or a qualifier) in the second round, and a potential quarterfinal with Jelena Ostapenko (or No.7-seeded Emma Navarro) could happen in the quarterfinals.
The Ostapenko potential matchup is notable because the Pole has lost all five decisions to the Latvian.
Sabalenka will face either Clara Tauson or Anastasia Potapova in the second round.
Tauson and Sabalenka have split their two meetings this year.
Among the notable first-rounders is a tilt between sixth-seeded Mirra Andreeva and Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk. Andreeva is in the bottom half of the draw and could face third-seeded Pegula.
In the top half, fourth-seeded Coco Gauff will face either Danielle Collins or Jule Niemeier in her second-round match after a bye.
