Porsche Talent Team Germany on the rise

The distinguished field is rounded out by three young players from the Porsche Talent Team Germany: 19-year-old Ella Seidel from Hamburg qualified for this year's Australian Open with three wins in the preliminary round and only lost in the main draw after a hard-fought battle against superstar and eventual tournament winner Aryna Sabalenka. Ella is currently ranked 137th in the WTA world rankings. Noha Noma Akugue, 21, sensationally reached the final of the prestigious tournament at Hamburg's Rothenbaum last year and became German Champion in 2020. Nastasja Schunk, 21, reached the junior final at Wimbledon in 2021 and became German Champion that same year. "It is important to us not only to support the Porsche Talent Team Germany in the Billie Jean King Cup," says Oliver Blum, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG, "we also want to promote promising talents in their development and accompany young players on their path to the top.".

From the US Open to Meerbusch's TeReMeer

 “More tennis professionals who don’t make it through qualifying at the US Open starting August 19, 2024, will still come to Meerbusch and ensure a spectacular field of participants,” organizer Marc Raffel is certain. The supporting program of the TeReMeer Open for the Lexus Cup is also spectacular, featuring the WTA Business Night and a live performance by the famous alto Rena Kleifeld on tournament Thursday, August 29, 2024, as well as the TeReMeer Open Party with live swing music by David Langer on tournament Saturday, August 31, 2024.
