Stuttgart Open 2022: Where to watch, TV schedule, order of play, live streaming details and more

The women's tour heads to Stuttgart for a WTA 500 event scheduled to take place from April 18-24. World No. 1 Iga Swiatek is the top seed. The Pole will be joined by six top-10 players, including Paula Badosa and Maria Sakkari. The only top-10 players who will miss the event are Garbine Muguruza, Danielle Collins and Barbora Krejcikova, who are sidelined with injuries.

Swiatek has won three tournaments in a row and will be the favorite to lift the trophy at the Stuttgart Open as well. The 2020 Roland Garros champion is currently competing at the Billie Jean King Cup, where she handed Mihaela Buzarnescu a 6-1, 6-0 beatdown to notch up her 18th consecutive win.

The Stuttgart Open will also be the first clay tournament that Emma Raducanu will compete in. The teenager notched up her first win on clay by defeating Tereza Martincova in straight sets at the Billie Jean King Cup.

Bianca Andreescu will also make her return to the tour at the Stuttgart Open.

The qualifying rounds begin on Saturday, with main-draw play set to commence on Monday. The top four seeds have received a bye into the second round, so Iga Swiatek, Paula Badosa, Aryna Sabalenka and Maria Sakkari won't be in action until Wednesday at the very least.

The quarterfinals are to be held on Friday, followed by the semifinals on Saturday. The singles final will take place on 24 April at 1 pm local time.

He is particularly proud of one article that garnered an impressive 750k views and surpassed his "wildest dreams." Rohit is not particularly fond of (GOAT) debates and it is one of the reasons why he left the legal world behind. He prefers to view players in "tiers," where they're all esteemed to an extent. However, if pressed to name favorites, he would choose Serena and Venus Williams. The Williams sisters' journey from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of tennis has been his greatest source of inspiration.

When he isn't busy making spot-on predictions about match outcomes, Rohit likes reading, particularly fantasy, sci-fi, and comics. As an X-Men fanatic, he's also passionate about board games and enjoys watching movies in his spare time.
