The match marked a showdown between top two players on the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Tour, with top seed Świątek and Aryna Sabalenka looking to build on her strong start to the season and clinch her third win over the Pole in their seventh meeting.

The Stuttgart Open final was an intense battle as both players fought for the title, the prize money, and the coveted Porsche Taycan Turbo S Sport Turismo, which was on display throughout the tournament.

Ultimately, in what was a repeat of last year's final against Sabalenka, Świątek managed to defend the title securing a 6-3, 6-4 victory in two neat sets in an hour and 50 minutes.
