The previous champion Gabriela Sabatini arrives in Filderstadt with high expectations on the back of winning her first Grand Slam against Steffi Graf at the US Open, 16-year old Monica Seles returns with added confidence to the site of her unlucky quarterfinal loss in 1989. However, everything turns out quite differently as the Austrian Barbara Paulus springs a surprise by reaching the final. The winner this time around is Mary Joe Fernández (USA) who adds a second tournament win to her first just before in Tokyo.
