The sports car manufacturer this year once again expanded its long-time activities on the women’s professional tour. As a part of its global partnership with the Women’s Tennis Association, which was extended before the start of the season, Porsche continues to be the title partner of the “Porsche Race to Shenzhen” and as such is visible worldwide at every WTA tournament. Porsche is additionally the exclusive automotive partner of the WTA and the Shiseido WTA Finals in Shenzhen.
