The women's circuit ventures into the European clay court swing with the WTA 500 Stuttgart that will begin this Monday in its main draw. Amongst the participants will be several of the world's best players despite the last-minute withdrawal of Aryna Sabalenka. The world number 2, Elena Rybakina, will debut against either Tamara Korpatsch or Diana Shnaider, with a potential encounter on the horizon against the Italian Jasmine Paolini. Iga Swiatek will also make her clay court debut in this tournament against the local Laura Siegemund or Magdalena Frech and could face the Kazakh in the semifinals. The second seed will be Coco Gauff, who after reaching the final in Miami, will seek to start off on the right foot in a tour where she defends the Roland Garros title. Her main challenge in Stuttgart could be the Ukrainian Elina Svitolina, whom she would face in the semifinals. Paula Badosa is the only Spanish representative and will face the German Eva Lys in her debut.
