A premiere

More about the year 2006

“At last I can drive as fast as I can serve,” said Nadia Petrova — visibly taken by the new Porsche 911 Targa 4S she wins for herself in the final. In a thrilling match in the sold-out Porsche Arena, she overcomes the strong Frenchwoman Tatiana Golovin. Her win throws down the gauntlet to the world’s best — the Russian wants to return to the top. Pertova warmly praised the successful premiere of the time-honoured tournament on Stuttgart soil. “The tournament is by far the best I’ve ever played. I’ve enjoyed every single match.”
