First-round matches will continue on Day 2 of the 2024 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart.
Doubles teammates Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani have been pitted against each other in the first round of singles. The latter has a pretty solid resume on the red dirt as she was a finalist at the 2012 French Open.
Reigning Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova returns to action after a month. She will begin her campaign here against Donna Vekic. This year's Australian Open finalist Zheng Qinwen will take on Sorana Cristea.
Paula Badosa and Ons Jabeur, both ranked as high as No. 2 in singles in the past, have teamed up to compete in doubles. The two will face the combine of Shuko Aoyama and Nadiia Kichenok in their opener.
The final match of the day will see Jelena Ostapenko going up against Linda Noskova. The latter's results have petered out after a strong start to the season during which she claimed a couple of titles.
As for Noskova, she scored a memorable win over World No. 1 Iga Swiatek to oust her in the third round of the Australian Open in January. While the teen lost to the Pole twice after that, she'll be confident in her ability to take on another top player.
On that note, here's a look at the schedule for Day 2 of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix:
