The final coincides with her 36th birthday — and she gives herself the best present of all. Martina Navrátilová wins her sixth (and last) title at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. And the sixth Porsche. The players this year can relax even more comfortably in a new and grander clubhouse. The Filderstadt town council again helps in every way possible at the tournament which descends annually on the village of Plattenhardt and the residential area around the Weilerhau venue. Though Dieter Fischer had to overcome the protests of local residents before he was able to build his tennis hall, the cooperation between the district authority and promotor has turned out to be harmonious. It was the only way in which Dieter Fischer could eventually fulfil his life’s work.
