WTA players shine in Indian Wells photoshoot

Before the 2024 BNP Paribas Open, WTA stars had their hair and makeup professionally styled as they posed in their tennis gear for photographer Jimmie48. Let’s take a look at some photos from the Sunday’s session.

Emma Raducanu went for a clean girl aesthetic in an all-white Nike ensemble, complemented by her long, straight ponytail styled with a sleek middle part.

Naomi Osaka debuted a green version of her custom snake-print Nike dress.

The four-time Grand Slam champion styled her curls into a high ponytail for her portrait pics.

Coco Gauff radiated positive vibes as she donned a vibrant yellow New Balance crop top and skirt ensemble.

Aryna Sabalenka chose last season’s Nike Fall Night Slam Dress, an elegant black design featuring a sexy sheer mesh inset at the waist.

The two-time Aussie Open champ, who recently graced the cover of Vogue, feels at ease in front of the camera.

Here’s one behind-the-scenes photo of Sabalenka having her makeup done.

New Asics team member Beatriz Haddad Maia showcased her apparel sponsor’s Spring collection at the WTA photoshoot.

Anastasia Potapova styled her long blond hair in a low ponytail, joining the trend of a sleek middle part.

Ons Jabeur enjoyed some popcorn during the shoot.

Liudmila Samsonova seems to have a new apparel sponsor, but the logo is unrecognizable. Once I have more information, I’ll share it here.

Erika Andreeva, the older sister of fellow tennis player Mirra Andreeva, is also at the BNP Paribas Open. The Russian was all smiles as she posed in her Lacoste Spring Player Sleeveless Polo and Lacoste Spring Player Short.

Emma Navarro enjoyed the company of a big furry friend while sporting a yellow tank and black skirt from Fila’s Back Spin collection.

American teenager Clervie Ngounoue means serious business.

The BNP Paribas Open, held annually in Indian Wells, California, is one of the most prestigious tournaments in tennis. Known for its stunning desert backdrop and world-class facilities, the tournament attracts the top players from around the globe. With a rich history dating back to 1976, the BNP Paribas Open has become a favorite among players and fans alike, offering a unique blend of competitive tennis, luxurious amenities, and breathtaking scenery.

WTA frustrates with tight scheduling: Players compete sleep-deprived, stressed, and rushed

Professional tennis players are expected to perform at top level at all times, but there are a lot of external factors that hamper their ability to show their best, a major one being tight scheduling. As many as three players who reached the semifinals of Abu Dhabi last week have lost in the first round of this week’s Qatar TotalEnergies Open, in straight sets. Moreover, Cluj-Napoca champion Karolina Pliskova slept for just four hours ahead of her Doha opener.

Despite being tired, Daria Kasatina put a smile on her face for photographer Jimmie48 in Doha.

Less than 24 hours after losing the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open final to Elena Rybakina 6-1 6-4, Daria Kasatkina played her first-round match at the Qatar Open and lost it in straight sets to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, 6-2 7-6(2).

After reaching Sunday’s Abu Dhabi final, Kasatkina criticized the WTA scheduling that made her play her first-round match in Doha on Monday:

I have a question, I don’t know to who, to WTA or the tournaments, like, are you guys trying to make players die, or to get injured often? I might have to fly Monday and step on the court the same day, after playing five matches here at the highest level. So I’m sorry but that’s something we have to talk about and consider.

Similarly, Beatriz Haddad Maia, who had previously lost to Kasatkina in the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open semifinals 6-3 4-6 7-6(2), also made a first-round exit in Doha, falling to Wang Xinyu 6-1 6-3.

Liudmila Samsonova, another player that reached the Abu Dhabi semifinals, where she lost to eventual champion Elena Rybakina 6-0 4-6 6-2, was scheduled to play her Doha opener on Monday and lost to Leylah Fernandez 7-5 7-6(4).

Karolina Pliskova at the Qatar TotalEnergies Open

It was not only about players competing at the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open. Karolina Pliskova won her 17th career title at the Transylvania Open in Cluj-Napoca on Sunday, while her Doha opener was already on Monday. Despite rushing from Romania to Qatar, the former world No.1 made it through to the second round, defeating Anna Kalinskaya after losing the first set, 2-6 7-6(3) 6-4.

Let z Kluže přes Istanbul do Dauhá stihla na poslední chvíli. Kdyby se finále v Rumunsku hrálo jen o trochu déle, do Kataru by se vůbec nedostala. Takhle na hotel dorazila v 8 ráno, spala 4 hodiny, rychlý oběd, 14:30 rozehrávka a zápas. Extrémně náročný podmínky. https://t.co/tNmLCkLfZu

— Michal Hrdlička (@michalhrdlicka) February 12, 2024

Pliskova’s husband Michal Hrdlicka gave us an insight into her challenging intercontinental travel:

She caught the flight from Cluj via Istanbul to Doha at the last minute. If the final in Romania had been played just a little longer, she would not have reached Qatar at all.

He proceeded to explain that Karolina arrived at the hotel at 8 in the morning, slept for just four hours, had a warm-up and then played her match.

Get ready for a wild ride as we unravel the trendy tales that have lit up the courts during this fortnight of fun – it’s time for our Grand Slam fashion roundup!

While Naomi Osaka‘s presence at the Australian Open spanned just a single match, there’s no denying that her custom Nike outfit left the biggest mark on the tournament’s fashion landscape. Celebrating the four-time major champion’s return to Grand Slam action for the first time since the 2022 US Open, Nike crafted a striking dress featuring iridescent insets reminiscent of snake skin.

The 26-year-old also donned a striking cropped-length gold bomber jacket adorned with center back ruching and accessorized with a stylish Louis Vuitton necklace.

Tennis Warehouse has the latest Osaka GP Challenge 1 available, in the style that matches the Japanese’s new dress. This premium model stands out with dual Zoom Air units, ensuring an unparalleled bounce – one strategically placed beneath the heel and another in the forefoot. Intriguingly, despite the tempting upgrade, Osaka remained loyal to her trusty old GP Turbo model in Melbourne.

After getting a custom dress for the 2023 US Open, Aryna Sabalenka returned to Melbourne to defend her title without a Nike dress designed specifically for her. The Belarusian promotes the red version of the Nike Spring Slam Dress.

Amanda Anisimova showcases a smokey mauve variant of the Nike Spring Slam Dress, which you can have a closer look at in our post about the Nike Melbourne collection.

Anisimova paired her dress with the new Melbourne colorway of the Nike Zoom Vapor 11 tennis shoe.

Nike‘s Victoria Azarenka showcases the yellow Spring Slam Tank and Spring Advantage Mini Pleat Skirt. Her shoe model: Nike Vapor Pro 2.

Playing her first Australian Open in On Running, world No.1 Iga Swiatek dons white separates and tennis shoes with pink accents and accessories.

New Balance is the official performance apparel and footwear provider for the Australian Open. Within the remarkable AO collection, the fusion of navy and yellow tones takes center stage, encompassing a range of apparel from timeless pleated skirts to sophisticated polo shirts and chic sleeveless tank tops.

For Coco Gauff, their brightest star, New Balance has gone above and beyond, making a distinctive ensemble that comprises a trendy crop top paired with a skirt adorned with a uniquely crafted criss-cross waistband.

Of course, Coco also has her signature CG1 shoes to match, this time in the NB navy, true red, and ginger lemon colorway.

Tennis mom Angelique Kerber returned to Grand Slam action in the Adidas Melbourne Pro Dress, a soft green tunic with visible texture and engineered venting.

Another mom on the Hologic WTA Tour, Caroline Wozniacki, also opted for this dress from Adidas’ Melbourne collection. Here you can see that the hemline is slightly asymmetrical.

The Dane’s shoes: Adidas Adizero Cybersonic.

Playing her first match in Adidas gear, former Fila representative Karolina Pliskova donned the Adidas Melbourne Match Pro Tank, paired with the Adidas Melbourne Pro Print Skirt, and complemented by Barricade footwear.

Beatriz Haddad Maia served the first big apparel sponsorship switch this season by going from Joma to Asics.

The Brazilian’s Aussie Open ensemble includes the Asics Spring Match Tank, which boasts a crew neckline adorned with striking contrast stripes, and the Spring Match Skirt with contrast tape accents on the sides. Here you can explore the complete collection.

Emma Navarro, who recently added the Credit One Bank logo on her attire, promotes Fila‘s yellow racerback dress from the Backspin collection.

Ajla Tomljanovic presented Original Penguin‘s fresh pink and lime hues.

Alize Cornet‘s Lotto ensemble, comprising the Melbourne Tech Tank with an interesting racerback design and accompanying skirt, showcases a unique marble print accented by vibrant lemon yellow pops.

Ons Jabeur, a former Lotto representative, played her first tournament in an emerging Saudi Arabian fitness apparel brand, Kayanee. The Tunisian is the first WTA player to wear a brand from that Middle Eastern country.

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova shines in Lacoste‘s chic ensemble in hydro green and lapland white hues —a sleeveless polo with a V-neck and contrasting rib-knit collar paired with a modern pleated skirt featuring both regular and micro pleats.

Caroline Garcia stuns in the Yonex Melbourne Dress, flaunting wavy diagonal stripes in yellow and shades of blue. The dress includes a built-in bra for support and comes with a matching shortie.

Donna Vekic wears a blue short-sleeved top (Le Club Crew Milos) tucked into a flirty skirt with pleats in the back (Luxe Skort White) from her own line within Uomo Sport. Complementing her look, the Croatian beauty opted for On tennis shoes.

Lululemon‘s Leylah Fernandez rocked a cute lilac crop top and a beautiful pleated skirt. The former US Open finalist continues to find basketball shoes the most fitting for her tennis game — the Puma Stewie 2.

Kimberly Birrell is drawing attention to a new sportswear and fitness apparel company on the Hologic WTA Tour — Melbourne-based Elite Eleven.

Maria Timofeeva is making waves not just with her stellar performance but also with her striking Bidi Badu kit, inspired by Melbourne’s cityscape at night.

Jelena Ostapenko catches the eye in a distinctive purple dress by Latvian brand DK ONE. The ensemble features striped shortie and sides, along with tuxedo-inspired details.

Sofia Kenin paired a blue FP Movement crop top with a white flirty high-waisted ruffled skirt. Sloane Stephens also endorses FP Movement and she introduced a sexy Wimbledon-style dress.

Beatriz Haddad Maia switches from Joma to Asics in 2024

The first big tennis apparel sponsorship change in the new year is Beatriz Haddad Maia‘s replacement of Joma with Asics. The world No.11 signed a head-to-toe multi-year deal with the company founded more than 70 years ago by Kihachiro Onitsuka.

First photo of Beatriz Haddad Maia in Asics apparel. Photo courtesy of Asics.

The Brazilian WTA player shared her excitement about switching to Asics tennis clothes and shoes:

“I am thrilled to join Asics, a brand that has a long-standing positive reputation of taking care of their athletes on and off the court. I am a baseline player so as soon as I tested Gel-Resolution 9, I knew it was the right tennis shoe for me with support, stability, and comfort. Asics is known for advanced tennis shoes and apparel of course, but they are just as dedicated to supporting their athletes off the court. Beginning 2024 gives me more confidence to fully focus on my game, in what will be an exciting year.”

Beatriz Haddad Maia was still wearing Joma at the 2024 United Cup. Her tennis racquet is Wilson Blade.

At this month’s United Cup, Haddad Maia was clad in Joma, but she started wearing Asics at this week’s Adelaide International, where she lost to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the first round. The Brazilian promoted the Asics Fall Match Tank and Asics Fall Match Skirt, from last year’s collection, although new outfits for the 2024 Australian Open have been launched.

A model showcases the Asics Fall Match Tank and Skort, Beatriz Haddad Maia’s first Asics outfit of choice.

The addition of a highly successful WTA player significantly bolsters the lineup of athletes in the Asics roster. With the departure of the world No.1 Iga Swiatek to join the On family last year, it marked a significant loss for Asics. However, they managed to offset this setback, at least to an extent, by securing the signing of Belinda Bencic.

Beatriz Haddad Maia gets injured as shower door shatters on her

World No.18 Beatriz Haddad Maia experienced a scary accident in Mexico, leading to her withdrawal from the Guadalajara Open AKRON‘s opening match against Danielle Collins. As the Brazilian tennis player was leaving her hotel shower, the glass door suddenly shattered, resulting in multiple injuries.

On Sunday night, the 27-year-old Haddad Maia suffered an accident while taking a shower, showing her injured hands in an Instagram post. Due to a glass shower door falling on her, the Brazilian had to get stitches in both her hands, therefore being unable to play the Guadalajara tournament. Fortunately, besides the major scare, the wounds are not serious and the WTA player expects to continue her 2023 season in the near future.

The US Open is an exciting tennis style spectacle with 128 women in the singles main draw representing over 20 companies and many more different outfits. Let’s check out the newest trends in sports clothing and enjoy the amazing world of women’s tennis fashion.

World No.1 and defending champion Iga Swiatek is the sole representative of On apparel. The Pole dons their ombre separates, a light and a dark version.

When it comes to shoes, the transition from Asics has not happened yet, as the four-time major champion continues to wear her Gel Resolution 9s.

Caroline Wozniacki confidently shows her toned post-pregnancy physique in a stylish blue Adidas leotard, part of a unique transformative Fall Slam Pro Set from the New York collection. The Dane’s shoe is the Adidas Adizero Cybersonic in royal/flash aqua colorway.

Unlike Wozniacki, Jessica Pegula chose more coverage, so she added the detachable pleated skirt to her Adidas Fall Slam Pro Set. The American’s Barricade tennis shoes in royal and off-white perfectly match her ensemble, as well as her $90,000 Swiss luxury watch with the world’s first random guilloche blued titanium dial.

Karolina Muchova paired the Adidas Fall Slam Match Tank Pro with the brand’s new reversible skirt which has a solid color on one side and a stripe print on the other.

Nike-sponsored Victoria Azarenka is another mom on Tour who feels most comfortable in a leotard. The three-time US Open finalist added a splash of color with her sunny yellow Nike Vapor Pro 2s.

Madison Keys wears a light and refreshing Nike Fall Day Slam Dress that brings Australian Open vibes with its lively print adorned with sun, fish, and flowers.

Petra Kvitova mixed and matched two tanks and skirts from the Nike New York collection. Here we can see the red version of the Fall Slam Tank and the layered, asymmetrical Fall Day Slam Skirt.

The 2023 US Open marks a fashion milestone for Aryna Sabalenka, who got her first custom dress by Nike. The Belarusian completes her look with the NikeCourt Zoom NXT tennis shoes in noble red.

Venus Williams chose hot pink tank, skirt and leggings by EleVen. The WTA fashion icon who recently introduced red lipstick to the court also had a pink bun and large hoop earrings.

Ajla Tomljanovic made her long-awaited but eventually short-lived return to action in a memorable Original Penguin set consisting of a long-sleeved crop top and an asymmetrical colorblock skirt. The Australian’s tennis shoe is the Wilson Kaos Rapide SFT.

As Wilson celebrates the 45th anniversary of being the official tennis ball provider for the US Open, Marta Kostyuk rocks their neon yellow tennis dress and footwear.

Elena Rybakina is in the blue version of an abstractly printed Yonex dress from the collection inspired by fruits and vegetables.

Italian trendsetter Camila Giorgi graced the court in a Giomila dress crafted from ultra-soft stretch velvet in a timeless blue marble hue.

Fila tennis stars debuted the latest Heritage collection. The 2016 US Open finalist Karolina Pliskova is seen here in the Fall Heritage Court Tank and Fall Heritage Pleat Woven Skirt. Playing doubles with Donna Vekic, the Czech wore an ultramarine green ensemble: the Fall Heritage Racerback Tank and Fall Heritage Knit Skirt.

Ekaterina Alexandrova sported the Fila Heritage Dress and the newly-launched Mondo Forza tennis shoes.

Coco Gauff sported both the red and neon yellow variant of her striking New Balance crop top and a corresponding skirt. The highlight of her outfit is the latest “City Brights” colorway of her signature Coco CG1 tennis shoe.

Belinda Bencic promotes Asics in the Fall Match Dress, a classic polo design with a modern twist. The aquamarine blue item with contrast tape accents on the sides features a ribbed collar with stripe detail and two-button placket. Mesh fabric racerback with a keyhole cutout contributes to proper ventilation, alongside a moisture-wicking fabric.

Leylah Fernandez introduced Lululemon‘s unique V-Waist Cropped Tennis Tank Top and V-Waist Mid-Rise Tennis Skirt. The Canadian’s footwear choice is On.

Bernarda Pera nurtures Lacoste‘s refreshed classic sporty style. The American’s green/white colorblock Fall Players Dress features a self-fabric collar with zippered placket.

Sloane Stephens‘ Free People Movement dress includes bold waist cutouts and intricate strappy back with pop color binding.

Arantxa Rus‘ outfits always feature the fierce thunderstorm logo of her sponsor, Hydrogen. In her latest ensemble, the logo takes on a daring neon yellow tiger print twist.

Ons Jabeur‘s Lotto Fall Tech Print Top is a V-neck design with an asymmetrical print on front and back. The Tunisian pairs it with a pure black Lotto Squadra Skirt.

Veronika Kudermetova dazzles in a pale pink Giorgio Armani (EA7) tennis dress which features a bold monochromatic python print and a unique asymmetrical hemline.

After starting the season and winning Wimbledon without a clothing sponsor, Marketa Vondrousova has finally secured a clothing deal. The Czech launched her new multi-year cooperation with J.Lindeberg at the US Open.

Brazil’s Beatriz Haddad Maia represents Joma in bright orange apparel.

Martina Trevisan of Italy is in Diadora from head to toe.

From established brands to small companies carving their fashion identity, the US Open courts have been a canvas for self-expression, innovation, and trendsetting. The blend of performance and aesthetics continues to captivate audiences, making tennis a runway of inspiration for fashion enthusiasts around the world.

Ranking reshuffle: Unveiling the twists and turns in women’s tennis post-Roland Garros

In this quick overview of the Top 100 rankings in women’s tennis, we delve into the latest developments following Roland Garros. From Iga Swiatek’s continued dominance at the top to the remarkable surges by Mayar Sherif and Jasmine Paolini, this analysis provides insights into the recent ups and downs of the tennis elite.

Beatriz Haddad Maia of Brazil

Top 20 rankings overview

Winning her third Roland Garros, Iga Swiatek is extending her stay atop the WTA rankings for the 63rd consecutive week. She is 928 points ahead of second-ranked Aryna Sabalenka, who had a chance to dethrone her from the No.1 spot, but lost in the French Open semifinals while she had to go one match further than the Pole in Paris.

Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan took over the No.3 position from American Jessica Pegula, who will remember the 2023 French Open for food poisoning that made her first few days in Paris a nightmare. Still, Pegula remains in the Top 5.

Following her semifinal run at Roland Garros, Beatriz Haddad Maia of Brazil has broken into the Top 10.

Karolina Muchova climbs 27 spots to a career-high No.16 following her first appearance in a Grand Slam final.

Biggest rises and new career-highs in the Top 100

New mom on Tour Elina Svitolina has made the biggest ascend of 119 spots to No.73, as the former world No.3 followed up her Strasbourg title with an impressive run to Roland Garros quarterfinals.

Mayar Sherif of Egypt lost in the second round of the French Open, but then went straight to Croatia where she saved six championship to prevail in the WTA 125 Makarska Open final against Jasmine Paolini. As a result of her outstanding performance, Sherif has soared 14 positions in the rankings, reaching a career-high No.40. Similarly, Paolini’s noteworthy achievements have propelled her to her best-ever ranking position, securing the No.42 spot.

Elina Avanesyan‘s extraordinary journey as the fifth lucky loser to reach the fourth round in a Grand Slam during the Open Era propelled her up the rankings by a staggering 54 places, landing her at No.80. Another notable achievement came from Sara Sorribes Tormo, who made her debut in the Grand Slam round of 16 and experienced a remarkable climb of 50 spots, securing the No.82 ranking position.

Croatian-born American Bernarda Pera played the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time and that result took her to a new career-high of No.27.

Nosedives in the updated WTA Top 100

Leylah Fernandez, who reached the quarterfinals of Roland Garros in 2022, experienced the most significant decline within the Top 100 rankings. The Canadian was unable to replicate her previous achievement and suffered a second-round exit at this year’s French Open, resulting in a drop of 46 spots, placing her at No.95.

Last year’s Roland Garros semifinalist Martina Trevisan got knocked out in the first round this time around and fell 39 spots to No.63.
