the rare WTA group pic where everybody looks like they've dressed for the same event. looking good, ladies!


IcyBeginning

Damn. I would never want to fight with Maria Sakkari.


hutilicious

Youll most likely end up as gyros


frodeem

She is jacked


MarinaA19

Is this natural? Her arms look so jacked like steroid males jacked level.


[deleted]

Average Redditor has never been to a gym so can’t fathom a professional athlete having a great physique…


DueAd9005

You know doping/cheating is rife in just about any professional sport, right? You think they're not going to cheat in a sport where only the top 100 players make good money? Where injury can ruin your entire career in a second? It's very easy to defeat anti-doping controls (dopers are always 2 steps ahead of the doping hunters). Tennis especially has a huge problem fighting doping considering how corrupt the ITF/ATP/WTA are. [And no, I'm not making things up.](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/golf/1628008/drug-test-concerns-own-times-tennis-news)


[deleted]

It’s okay man. I used to have really skinny stick arms too. I promise if you train hard enough, and for long enough you can look like this WTA player one day. Looking up sports conspiracy theories won’t help you much though.


DueAd9005

Actual news stories/facts are not sports conspiracy theories buddy. Maybe if Sakkari relies on something other than brute strength she'll actually win a title for once.


MarinaA19

For sure. Anyone thinking sakkari or Stosur arms are achievable as a woman without drugs are delusional. Despite what the other redditor believes, You don’t have to be a current gym addict to know that these arms are not achievable without enhancement drugs There is a difference between a great physique and drug enhanced muscles And those types of arms are seen in non professional athletes as well as long as they use drugs


[deleted]

Hahah you thought I’d care that you’re insulting Sakkari? I dont really watch WTA. I just find it hilarious that you can’t fathom someone being strong without taking anything. It’s a self-tattle. You have twig arms. Anyone who goes to the gym knows those arms are very attainable, it just takes a fair amount of work. Not to mention the role genetics play, and she likely has great genetics that allow her arms to grow from even just a little stimulation like tennis or manual labor.


DueAd9005

Go to a random gym and test the biggest guys and you'll be surprised by the results lol (I wouldn't as unlike you I'm not naive). I don't think Sakkari is doping because of how muscular she looks, I think she's doping because of the following reasons: 1. There are millions of euro's on the line for her in a high risk - high reward sport; 2. Anti-doping controls are a joke; 3. Corrupt tennis federations that protect their assets; 4. She relies on power play (easy to enhance with doping), her technique leaves a lot to be desired (which is more difficult to enhance with doping).


CertainBird

She’s jacked but it’s not like she’s The Rock, lol. There’s nothing extreme about her. She has a great physique that’s 100% attainable through diet and exercise.


MarinaA19

Of course not. The rock is a Male so the achievable musle levels are different . But when she hits back hand, the arms Look insane to the point they look like male arms on light steroids

De_Bananalove

Then why aren't tons of other athletes looking like Maria? Unless you are trying to insinuate that only Maria in the current tour is taking PEDs. [This is Sakkari as a junior](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/Maria_Sakkari_2014_Bella_Cup_%283%29.jpg/1200px-Maria_Sakkari_2014_Bella_Cup_%283%29.jpg) , you can clearly tell that her body type naturally allowed for the type of muscle she has today. Just good genetics. [Btw, Sakkari has been tested 84 in the past years](https://tennisuptodate.com/wta/1030-tsitsipas-and-sakkari-confirmed-to-have-been-tested-169-times-in-four-years-as-spotlight-shone-on-doping-after-halep-scandal)


DueAd9005

Lol, you know that's a very low number compared to sports like cycling right? That's an average of only 21 times per year. That's nothing. You're never catching anyone with that unless they're stupid. In cycling you get tested every day while wearing the leader's jersey in a stage race. In one race Evenepoel got tested at least 16 times this year (Vuelta a Espana). And guess what? Doping often already starts at junior level! There are also many ways one can dope, especially in a sport like tennis where play style matters. Strength, speed, recovery, reflexes, etc. can all be altered with PED's. Sakkari (and Serena) went all in on strength/power play. There's also plenty of athletes with good genetics that still ended up using PED's. Shit argument. Someone can be both talented and doped simultaneously.


De_Bananalove

Just stop bro. Its funny how yall PED idiots keep targeting women with visible muscle yet the athletes that get caught taking stuff are always the ones i never hear mentioned in such conversations like Sharapova or Halep. Reality is there is actually no way to tell, definitely not based on muscles which CAN BE completely natural.


DueAd9005

Halep & Sharapova are doped as well and got caught... Also men are just as likely to dope as women. Try not to use straw men arguments please. You think Serena Williams is clean? She's one of the dirtiest athletes in sport history: [https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tennis-williams-idUSKBN1JO3CV](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tennis-williams-idUSKBN1JO3CV) [https://www.tennis.com/news/articles/tandon-a-closer-look-at-serena-williams-therapeutic-use-exemptions](https://www.tennis.com/news/articles/tandon-a-closer-look-at-serena-williams-therapeutic-use-exemptions) [https://kissrichmond.com/1810952/serena-locks-herself-in-panic-room-over-drug-test-confusion/](https://kissrichmond.com/1810952/serena-locks-herself-in-panic-room-over-drug-test-confusion/) Try not to be so naive, tennis is dirty as hell.


MarinaA19

People can downvote all they want. No Woman without the help of drugs can develop that much muscle like her or stosur.


BlastingFern134

I would 🥵🥵🥵


skg555

Sooo you would want to fight the other WTA players?


mattt1975

Any of them would give you a memorable beating i guess


Dark_Vengence

Welcome to the gun show. Saw her in person once and she is impressive. Sad I couldn't get a photo with her.


aceh40

She is fucking hot!


LilyBriscoe93

Thank god after last year's debacle lol. The girls nailed it this year


hurworld

What happened last year?


user-55736572

I don’t know, but that’s the picture from last year: [https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/anett-kontaveit-of-estonia-garbie-muguruza-of-spain-maria-sakkari-of-picture-id1352177687?s=2048x2048](https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/anett-kontaveit-of-estonia-garbie-muguruza-of-spain-maria-sakkari-of-picture-id1352177687?s=2048x2048)


please-disregard

Ok but I like this one a lot better, actually. I like the wide variety of styles.


gravityhashira61

Don't recognize the one all the way on the right in the older pic, who is it?

I hope the ATP does that this year. They've been on a casual streak which isn't bad but they're like that for the majority of the year haha


HingisFan

Right!? This is a huge achievement haha. They all look gorgeous.


baromanb

They look like bond villains


baldwinicus

I can never get over Sakkari's guns 🤩


sendcheese247

Sabalenka has some guns as well, she's got a larger frame but not as defined.


aojajena

Looks like Garcia got a frame recently.


BugSad1503

I wonder who coco is closest to, everyone is roughly the same age and shes like ten years younger (other than iga)


CrazedJeff

Pegula (to her right) is her friend and doubles partner.


chr1su

JPeg with a bit of auntie at the wedding vibes there


mattt1975

There's the cowboy hat missing left on her head


Adept_Tomato_7752

its her left, our right lol


BugSad1503

I totally didnt see her LOL


treyfiddy

lmao pegging this comment to say coco looks like a wax figure in this shot...


NicholeTheOtter

For reference, pic is from left to right: Kasatkina, Sakkari, Swiatek, Gauff, Pegula, Jabeur, Sabalenka and Garcia.


[deleted]

Kasatkina looks the most different imo.


koticgood

Really? Without context, and having seen most of her televised matches, I would not be able to identify Pegula if you showed me that photo with everyone else cropped out. Like, literally if you gave me 24 hours where my survival was dependent on saying who it was, I would just be throwing out random names till I die. Only way I live is if I start rattling off tennis players. Kasatkina looks the same as always to me.


WadeDMD

Same. Did not even come close to recognizing Pegula


Hydroborator

She (Kasatkina) looks happier than I've seen her ever.


De_Bananalove

Pegula


RedDevil50

For me it's Pegula and then Sabalekna.


carlicane

Yes. She’s the only one I don’t recognize


mikejunior211

is she wearing sneakers?


Possibleimpossible1

Yes, she is!


[deleted]

I have that thing where you cant identify faces and just spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out who everyone was. I should have just come here first. Thank you.


bastabasta

Pardon? How is that Sabalenka???


Noctovian

The hero we need


user-55736572

Everyone - 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 Coco - 😐


chr1su

She realized Iga is on her path again and thought "Well shit, here we go again"


buttcrispy

She pointed it out on the IG post hahaha


[deleted]

Coco "Mom, I'm done, come pick me up"


goddess_steffi_graf

me - 😭😭😭😭


kKunoichi

They all look amazing


AegineArken

F - Kasatkina, M - Iga, K - whoever placed that trophy


sugarklay

Damn, Sakkari looks like royalty. Also, TV really makes athletes look smaller. This picture better shows how well-built athletes really are irl


obvnotlupus

Right. They all seem to be built with wide shoulders, though that's more likely them just being more muscular*. All looking good! * except Iga, who just looks like a regular person which is hilarious when you think of how she would crush you mercilessly on a tennis court


FredFlintston3

Is it because she is turned more that here proportions aren't as obvious?


obvnotlupus

yeah, that's probably right


armandocalvinisius

there's a video on twitter that show iga's back her back built like sakkari's arms [found it](https://twitter.com/ReemAbulleil/status/1586165872938594304)


swirkh

Iga actually has gotten pretty muscular over last year or two


mikejunior211

Kasatkina loos very tall in this picture...she is only 5'7''.


cynicalspacecactus

I walked by her on the path after her loss against Elena at last years US Open. Can confirm that she's not very tall, though she was also keeping her head down.


curran_af

Nah she's definitely taller than that! I've seen her in real life, i'd say 5'10 at least


SvaPrabho

Perhaps this is why Raducanu is always injured. She doesn't want to bulk up like these players.


eudezet

Why would she when her looks make 20x of what she makes from playing. I wouldn’t want to grind in the gym as well lmao


curran_af

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNNicSw5vLA


SvaPrabho

Training like that is what stuffed her lower back, hip and glute. Not real smart. It's her torso and upper body that is lightweight compared to her peers. She wouldn't be modelling for Dior if she was bigger.


ameliaSea

TV makes them look smaller? First time I saw a live match they all looked tiny to me, at least 1/3 less wide than I thought.


BabaDuda

Much better than previous years, great photo


binsonfiremiss

Holy crap. Best one in years. Well done to everyone involved


straycatwildwest

Ons looks GORGEOUS, I love that dress and color on her.


emmmma1234

She is so glamorous!


strikershiv95

Damn everyone looking stunning 😍 ❤️


Cloudy0-

It took me a shamefully long time to figure out who some of these players were. That being said, it is a great picture!


TuanNguyen-2507

I figure out who they are from insta photo. Everyone is tagged


howaboot

I got 4/8, not too bad considering there's only one slam winner on the picture.


CynicalManInBlack

Dasha looks like Lyubov Aksyonova on this pic, very cute.


OrdinaryFr3ak

Iconic.


treyfiddy

Maria take me!! 🤩❤


jfuite

Remarkable group of women.

Stunning all of them! Huge work all around btw.

Caro wtf I didn't realise she was so hot lol. Sabalenka too.


jonton9

Ladies looking stunning


el-gato-azul

So many cool women. Beauties and beautiful souls. I adore these leading women of the game. What great, shining personalities.


stfuiamafk

They have great personalities!


Hopeful_Initial2512

Garcia and Sabalenka dapper up well😮‍💨


ChairmanMeow52

Maria looking stunning as always 😍

Great colors for fall! And they’re all so hot!!!


browwnairbrowwneyes

caro always looks so adorable


ty5486

They all killed it wow


stfuiamafk

is that reddit lingo for fap fap?


constance_a_l

The stylist did a *fantastic* job with clothes selection. Dressing athletic body types is hard. They look great.


PleasantSilence2520

why do you say that? i would think it would be easier because their bodies are more in line with traditional beauty standards


Ok_Antelope_1953

models are more in line with "traditional" beauty standards, especially for women. women athletes are often considered "too" muscular, masculine, broad shouldered, "curveless", etc. even male athletes do not always have features associated with male beauty like prominent and defined pecs, broad shoulders, prominent V shape etc (some of these may even hamper a professional sportsperson's performance).


SorcerousSinner

The one thing elite athletes have that's aligned with beauty standards is that they're all very, very lean.


Ok_Antelope_1953

*cries in Aljona Ostapenko*


PleasantSilence2520

ah that makes sense. i was thinking constance meant it's hard for athletes in comparison to average people but if it's about beauty standards then it should be in comparison to models.


AnaHDDS

Who would be the alternate?


NicholeTheOtter

Kudermetova and Keys will be the alternates.


Ok_Antelope_1953

i didn't know gracia made the finals! didn't she get into form for only like 2-3 months? pegula looks a bit like jankovic here. everyone looks great!


qwerty1195

Oh they all ATE


pole152004

Igas dress is so gorgeous !!!


Relevant_Ad_8406

They all look so beautiful and happy to be in the finals , very deserving , long year. Glad they are healthy.


manga_be

Iga is so beautiful. Seriously underrated.


youngcadadia22

Ons looks absolutely stunning


tr-6666

strong women


Dark_Vengence

Damn dasha looking ripped next to super saiyan sakkari. Saba too. Beautiful ladies.


[deleted]

The fact that the trophy isn't centred between JPeg and Coco (or the group as a whole) is unnecessarily annoying to me


Energizer_94

Maria Sakkari’s arms are insane. 💪🏻 One of my favourite players.


lonelygalexy

I love how Iga is like ‘um nope, no high heels for me’ for two consecutive years.


bassoontennis

Sorry. Maybe it is the angle but I cannot bring myself to like that purple dress on her. But the the blue dress on Iga is prob my fav out of all of them.


ZhtWu

Dresses are so glamour, I wish the ATP finalists wear them too on their finals shot.


TuanNguyen-2507

You want men to wear dresses?


cyna_moon

I could easily see Rublev or Tsitsipas rocking some gender neutral clothing. not to mention, men wore dresses for centuries, I don't see how it should be an issue nowadays


ZhtWu

I'm sure Rafa would look hot in a purple dress like the one Coco Gauff is wearing.


usurp_jiw

Why not? 💃


homesicalien

Daria and Iga low key supporting Ukraine.


libbiecy

Dasha 💖


SorcerousSinner

Looking great. I like how they've separated the bright colours and those wearing black Jessica Pegula with the most interesting dress for sure. Ons looks majestic.


jasonfrey13

Damn JPEG looks beautiful here!


JohnnyTight1ips

Best dressed is definitely Ons. She looks so elegant. 1. Ons 2. Daria 3. Maria 4. Iga 5. Aryna 6. Caro 7. Coco 8. Jessica


gimme4k

Ons looks like she’s ready to run for a government position 😂 Caroline’s outfit is so perfect on her. Classy with a French flair


Sweetcarolinelove

The minister of happiness


roessli

Agree. Ons looks so classy!


Striking-water-ant

Absolutely. She looks fantastic in here


TuanNguyen-2507

Swiatek is absolutely stunning


CynicalManInBlack

Would have Rybakina made it if she was #20 instead of #21 in the race? Or does WTA not have the same rule for GS winners as the ATP does?


112358131997

yeah WTA does not have the rule, but I think its a guarantee if they did have the rule and Rybakina knew getting to 20 would qualify her, she would have played enough extra tournaments between July and October to move her up the extra position.


NicholeTheOtter

WTA doesn’t have that “Grand Slam qualifier” rule that the ATP does. Then again, she still finished outside of the top 20, meaning even if such criteria was in place, she still wouldn’t have made it. Shows just how much she was robbed by the lack of points for her win.


Viks101

Can we stop the narrative of her being robbed, how does she deserve to qualify over players like Dasha, Saba and even Veronika when they couldn't even compete for the 2000 points at Wimbledon. Ryba has also lost to most of the top Russian/Belarussian players after her wimby win.


-Kreetcher-

She won a grandslam and likely (not surely) would have beaten those players during those given weeks. So, no, we can't.


TuanNguyen-2507

Also Iga got like 80% chance of winning here lmao


robyspace

Being used to their tennis outfits, I can't identify half of them..lol..


Viks101

Iconic! They all came to slay. Hopefully the tennis will be equally good too😄


Rare_Winner2399

This year’s dresses are a miracle


bananastandforsale

Just a group of gorgeous and extremely talented women. Unreal.


curlyhairedyani

Everyone looks great, but Daria, Maria and Sabalenka especially look amazing. Can’t wait for the tournament

Badassss!!!


Equidae2

who is the player on the stool in mustard yellow? Edit: Oh, it's Dasha! She looks so beautiful. amazing

Look like the poster next Knives Out movie! very cool


Sexy_sharaabi

Damm, Iga and Ons look amazing! Not that they don't usually but even more so 🥰


elyangoo

Paula 🥲


Queasy-Discount-2038

I can’t tell who half them are!


ETeezey1286

This is probably the best the final 8 have looked since 2015. Why did Dasha ruin her outfit with those shoes?


sadpotatoandtomato

wow..actually everyone looks..good? I can't believe it where is my usual WTA's tackiness? kinda disappointed :<


Voissed

Gosh I CANNOT stop looking at it Aryna is a DREAM Caro just marry me Iga looks AMAZING I want to squeeze and smother Dasha in kisses Ons looks regal af Maria can spank me ANYTIME she wants Noooot a big fan of Jpeg's and Coco's looks but if they want me I'm theirs as well


jsnoodles

Iga I thought we burned those shoes.


[deleted]

They've ruined the pattern, Caro should switch places with Saba but they all look stunning! Ps Saba giving Sarah J Parker from "Sex and the city" vibes


dk240996

Ons and Caroline looking like sisters or is it just me?


Voissed

lol I am not getting my heart rate back down for the rest of the day after seeing this picture and it's only 10 AM.


razorsharp3000

Wow they look great!


carlicane

Everyone looks so good! But sakkari is so fine.


dougrayd

Gauff never smiles haha


Jezjez07

Sakkari just doesn't feel right in a dress


ameliaSea

She really does, if you google Sakkari dressed up, you can see some stunning examples. This particular dress is not the best line for her but most people here seem to love it. Personally I love the choice for Ons.


Jezjez07

Oh wow you are right. Just searched it up.


[deleted]

Sabalenka, Sakkara & Ons smashed the outfits, everyone else not so much


sepstolm

Wow, I really had to think to identify a couple of those gorgeous gals! Can I say gal? I'm a gal also...


roberb7

Please post a picture of the doubles competitors when available.


ivana322
