  • Community. Porsche is a family where everyone is treated with respect. Our team’s work is characterised by openness, diversity and consideration towards our colleagues, clients and partners.

WHY DOES PORSCHE SUPPORT TENNIS?

Porsche has supported tennis for decades, therefore, extending the support to the Tallinn Open WTA 250 as the main transport partner was the obvious step towards strengthening the bond between tennis and motor sports in Estonia. Athleticism is in Porsche’s DNA because the same as on the circuit, in tennis you need to be quick, accurate and anticipate your opponents’ next moves and train to be the best.

For the first time, Porsche is a partner of the Tallinn Open and is supporting the organisers with a shuttle service consisting of Porsche vehicles. Porsche has been involved in women’s tennis now for over 40 years. The Stuttgart-based sports car manufacturer started its engagement in 1978 as the title sponsor of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix and then took on the role as tournament organisers in 2002. Played in Stuttgart’s Porsche Arena, the long-standing event stands out every year with a main draw field of a Grand Slam standard. This year, the world No. 1 Iga Swiatek from Poland won the title after beating Aryna Sabalenka in the final. The tournament that has already been voted ten times since 2006 by the players as their favourite in its category stands for tradition and innovation, just like the Porsche marque. 

Porsche is one of oldest sponsors in international women’s tennis. Other cornerstones of its wide-ranging involvement are the Premium cooperation with the Deutsche Tennis Bund (DTB – the German Tennis Association), the global partnership with the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) and the support given to various worldwide WTA tournaments. In addition to the event in Tallinn, Porsche is this year also the official automotive partner of the WTA tournaments in Lyon (France), Bad Homburg (Germany), Bastad (Sweden), Cincinnati (USA), Portoroz (Slovenia) and Cluj-Napoca (Romania). 

As Brand Ambassadors, Angelique Kerber and Emma Raducanu give Porsche a face in tennis. Porsche also cooperates with the top players Maria Sakkari and Anett Kontaveit. The 27-year-old local hero will be giving her all on home soil to win the title.
