As two-time title winner of the Stuttgart Open, Iga Swiatek has received her fair share of Porsche cars that the brand traditionally awards the winner.

Swiatek bested Aryna Sabalenka in the final to lift the 2022 Stuttgart Open trophy. She dropped just one set against Liudmila Samsonova in the semifinals en route to the title. That year, the Pole received a metallic red Porsche Taycan GTS that she drove in the stadium prior to the trophy presentation.

Up for grabs at the 2024 Stuttgart Open is a Porsche Taycan 4S Sports Tourismo.
