# Tennis: Two-time champion Iga Swiatek is chasing a hat-trick of titles and also her first of the season at the Stuttgart Open in Germany this week, as she begins her clay court season. The Pole has played exactly 100 matches on clay in her career and won 89 of them. Defending champion Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan has opted to skip the tournament.
