6-4, 2-6, 6-1
Winner’s prize: Porsche Boxster Spyder
Prize money: $700,000

Justine Henin celebrated her first title win since her comeback in the Porsche Arena. In front of 4,400 excited spectators, the Belgian won 6-4, 2-6, 6-1 against Australian Samantha Stosur in the final of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. For the seven-time Grand Slam winner and former world No. 1, it was her second success in four final appearances at the long-running Stuttgart tournament. The first came in 2007. “I’m very emotional. It’s a special feeling,” she said after receiving the winner’s trophy and the keys for the Porsche Boxster Spyder. “It’s also something special winning here in Stuttgart at this wonderful tournament. It’s been a sensational week for me.” Justine Henin is the first player to win the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix after being given a wild card.

2011  

Finals: Julia Görges (GER) – Caroline Wozniacki (DEN)

7-6 (3), 6-3
Winner’s prize: Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet
Prize money: $721,000

Sensational win for Julia Görges in the dream final at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. Watched by a capacity crowd in the Porsche Arena, the 22-year-old German defeated Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki, the world’s number one ranked player, 7-6 (3), 6-3 in a match of the highest class. She is only the second German winner of Europe’s oldest indoor tournament and the first since Anke Huber in 1994. En route to the final, she beat two top 10 players in Victoria Azarenka and Samantha Strosur and the wins have helped her break into the top 30 for the first time. “It was just an amazing feeling playing the final in front of so many people,” said Julia Görges. After the biggest success of her career, besides her first drive in her new Porsche, she especially looked forward to two things: “My niece’s baptism on Monday and finally being able to sleep in my own bed again after three months on tour.”

2012  

Finals: Maria Sharapova (RUS) – Victoria Azarenka (BLR)

7-6 (3), 6-3
Winner’s prize: Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet
Prize money: $740,000

She came, saw and was victorious: Maria Sharapova, the glamorous world star of women’s tennis, hopped around the Porsche Arena’s Centre Court like an excited teenager. Overjoyed, she blew kisses to the crowd after crowning her Porsche Tennis Grand Prix debut with a title. In the dream final between the world’s two most successful tennis players, she beat Victoria Azarenka, the world No. 1. Maria Sharapova had already played and lost two finals against the Belarusian but triumphed this time around after making it clear she doesn’t think much of statistics: “The most important thing is what you do on court.” The crowd in the Porsche Arena took the superstar to their hearts and Maria Sharapova can well imagine returning to Stuttgart in 2013. “I really enjoyed the week,” she said, “and it’s always nice returning to a tournament you’ve won.”

2013 

Finals: Maria Sharapova (RUS) – Li Na (CHN)

6-4, 6-3

Winner’s prize: Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet 

Prize money: 795,000 US Dollar

It was the dream final: Maria Sharapova against Na Li, the number 1 seed against the number 2 seed – the spectators in the sold-out Porsche Arena were enthralled. Maria Sharapova, who was presented as the new Porsche brand ambassador in the tournament week, was desperate to retain the title she had won the year before. A reporter’s question as to whether she had space in her garage for a second Porsche was answered short and sweet: “There’s always space for a Porsche.” After having to dig very deep in the semifinal against Porsche Team Germany’s Angelique Kerber to stay in the tournament, she had things little bit more her own way in the final against Na Li. Her run of success in Stuttgart has therefore continued. “It was a wonderful week for me,” she said after her triumph. “I had to fight hard in every match but the spectators once again supported me fantastically.”

2014 

Final: Maria Sharapova (RUS) – Ana Ivanovic (SRB)

3-6, 6-4, 6-1
Winner’s Prize: Porsche 911 Targa 4S
Prize money: 710,000 dollars

The final was the one spectators were hoping for: Maria Sharapova against Ana Ivanovic and the superstars sent the fans home happy. In a top-class final, Maria Sharapova won the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix for the third time in succession when beating Ana Ivanovic 3-6, 6-4, 6-1. Her 13th victory in 13 matches in the Porsche Arena has given Sharapova her first ever hat-trick of wins at a tournament. The Porsche Brand Ambassador has now joined the legendary Martina Navratilova who was the last player to win three Porsche Tennis Grand Prixs in succession - 1986 to 1988. Though the Russian ran out a comfortable winner of the dream final, at the start of the match, it did not seem as if the reigning champion would be able to defend her title successfully. Playing controlled and powerful tennis, Ana Ivanovic put her under pressure and duly won the first set 6-3 and was then one point away from going 4-1 up in the second. However Maria Sharapova once again showed her exceptional never-say-die spirit. "The Porsche is simply too sexy to give up," said the 2014 champion when receiving the 911 Targa 4S after her win. “I love competing and always up my game when I’m pushed.”
