“The BOSS Open have long become much more than just a tennis tournament,” said Daniel Grieder. “Together, we invest every year in creating a special experience for players, partners and fans. The decision to extend our partnership through 2030 already last year was absolutely the right one.”
Grieder was particularly pleased with the tournament’s growing international profile and its successful combination of world-class tennis, hospitality and high-profile side events. “I have just returned from abroad and people everywhere are talking to me about the tournament,” he said. “We are being copied, which is a great compliment. It reflects the unique status we have built together over the past years.”
Hans-Georg Kauffeld also drew a positive conclusion. “The cooperation between TC Weissenhof, promoter e|motion and HUGO BOSS works exceptionally well. What has been created here over the past years is extraordinary. Even after rainy days, visitors left the venue satisfied.” At the same time, Kauffeld emphasized the importance of youth development and outlined further expansion plans for the club’s junior academy.
Edwin Weindorfer thanked partners, sponsors, media representatives and all staff members, while highlighting the tournament’s sporting quality. “Once again, we presented one of the strongest ATP 250 fields in the world. The final featuring two Top 10 players, Ben Shelton and Taylor Fritz, proves that. The players appreciate the unique atmosphere, the venue and the overall package we offer here. That is why they enjoy coming to Stuttgart.”
Weindorfer added that the numerous side events had also contributed significantly to the success of the tournament week.
He furthermore described the inaugural BOSS Open Economic Summit as a major success. “The response exceeded our expectations. Guests from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Vietnam and many other countries demonstrated the potential that lies in combining sports and business. Together with our partners, we will continue to develop this format.”
Despite three days of rain, the BOSS Open welcomed more than 50,000 visitors. “Of course, even more spectators would have been possible without the weather disruptions. Nevertheless, we are very satisfied with around 50,000 guests,” said Weindorfer.
