[2] Demi Schuurs/Desirae Krawczyk  are the women’s doubles champions at the 2023 Stuggart Open (WTA 500), defeating Nicole Melichar/Giuliana Olmos  6-4, 6-1

Tsitsipas continues his impressive record against Italians, now 4-0 vs Musetti.
 
Unfortunately he is 0-3 against Alcaraz, but they had very close matches in the past. The last time they played was in the quarterfinals here last year. I want more than anything for Stefanos to win, especially after how the crowds always act towards him against Alcaraz (hypocritical behaviours from them at 2021 US Open and 2022 Barcelona), but I do not expect him to win. I hope to be wrong...
