Three left-handers who each triumphed at Wimbledon: “Court Supremes” brings the legendary Martina Navratilova together with Petra Kvitova (twice successful in London) and Porsche brand ambassador Angelique Kerber , who triumphed on Church Road in 2018. The series of pictures by photographer Radka Leitmeritz was shown for the first time a few weeks ago at the WTA Tour 250 event in Cluj-Napoca.
This trio, but also Julia Görges , who was photographed by Leitmeritz, who is based in Prague, also has a special relationship with the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix: Navratilova holds the record in Stuttgart with six individual titles (or in Filderstadt in the first few years) , Kerber won in the Porsche Arena in 2015 and 2016, Kvitova in 2019. And Julia Görges gave her terrific career a lot of momentum in 2011 when she won the final against Caroline Wozniacki.

"The way in which Radka Leitmeritz presents these power women of tennis reflects many of the reasons why Porsche has been a committed partner of women's tennis since 1978," said Patrick Eble, Head of Marketing at Porsche for Central and Eastern Europe. “Your passion and attention to detail correlate excellently with the core of the Porsche brand. We look forward to how this project develops and that we can show the world these inspiring images. "
Radka Leitmeritz has already photographed for Vogue, Elle and Harper's Bazaar. And approached the “Court Supremes” project with a clear plan. “I don't take typical match photos,” said Leitmeritz. “My goal is to share the strength and elegance of the players with others. As a constant balance between performance and femininity. "
With Aryna Sabalenka , Victoria Azarenka , Maria Sakkari, Barbora Strycova, Olympic silver medalists Marketa Vondrousova, Yulia Putintseva, Karolina Muchova, French Open winner Iga Swiatek and the bronze winner from Tokyo Elina Svitolina are other absolute top players "at" Court Supremes " to see.
