Elena Rybakina arrives at Stuttgart as the tournament's de facto top seed following Aryna Sabalenka's withdrawal, riding the momentum of her 2026 Australian Open title and 10 consecutive wins over top-10 opponents since coach Stefano Vukov's return to her camp. Her serve is regarded as the best on the WTA tour and the faster indoor clay surface at Porsche Arena partially mitigates her typical clay-court disadvantage.
