Women's tennis world number one Iga Swiatek will participate in the Berlin Open tournament in June, organizers said on Wednesday.
"If you look at the last few weeks, she will of course be the absolute top favourite," tournament director Barbara Rittner told a news conference.
Rittner added that she is very proud of the starting line-up for the competition. As things stand, nine of the top 10 players in the WTA rankings are taking part in the June 17-23 grass court event.
Former world number one Angelique Kerber of Germany and Japan's Naomi Osaka are also registered to play at the Wimbledon tune-up.
