Porsche Tennis GP: Who Won the Taycan 4S Sport Turismo?

The only women’s tennis tournament that rewards its champion with a Porsche concluded in mid-April in Stuttgart.

We mentioned it a few weeks ago, and it has now happened. After a lengthy selection process and a fierce tournament, Elena Rybakina won the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix for the first time on Sunday, April 21, 2024.

Elena Rybakina is not a stranger, having already etched her name in the history of the legendary Wimbledon tournament in 2022. In Stuttgart, she defeated Marta Kostyuk (Ukraine) in two sets, 6-2 and 6-2.

This victory, in front of 4,200 spectators, came with the key to her first prize, a Porsche Taycan 4S Sport Turismo (544 horsepower) worth nearly 150,000 euros. In a funny twist, at 24 years old, Elena Rybakina does not (yet) have her driver’s license but has promised to hurry and obtain it to return behind the wheel of her Porsche for the 2025 edition.

A little disappointment?

Elena Rybakina won’t say it, but Porsche’s initial promise was to award a Taycan Turbo S Sport Turismo, not a 4S. But still, it’s already very good, especially since the model in question is very well equipped with options… and a check for an additional 100,000 euros comes with the champion’s prize. That’s nearly 300,000 euros in total rewards.

Porsche did not stop there. With the Aces For Charity program, the German manufacturer committed to donate 200 euros to charities for every ace served during the tournament. With 178 winning serves (including 26 from Elena Rybakina), this represented a total of 35,600 euros… which Porsche rounded up to 60,000 euros! Well done and thank you.
