2015 GS STD Stuttgart | Home Team vs. Visitors


Simone Segatori - Annette Sudol, GER

Over the past ten years, the victories at the GrandSlam Standard Stuttgart were divided up between one Danish, two Italian and two German couples. Six wins went to the host country, three to Italy and one to Denmark. Simone Segatori - Annette Sudo, GER, were first in 2014, claiming the second GrandSlam of their career after 2014 Hong Kong and starting on a streak that has not stopped yet.

If the Simone and Annette plan on matching their German predecessors when it comes to dominance at the GrandSlam Stuttgart, they will need a win this year too – and then three more until 2018. Benedetto Ferruggia - Claudia Koehler won here non-stop between 2008 and 2012! But let’s not preempt what will end up being a tight competition between the Germans and the other favourites. This June in Hong Kong, Dmitry Zharkov and Olga Kulikova, RUS, came within less than two points in a total score of nearly 200 for all five dances to stage the first major upset for the year.
