"This happens once every century";"Best photoshoot for WTA Finals ever" - Fans lose it over Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka & co turning heads in Riyadh

Fans are thrilled by the 2024 WTA Finals gala photoshoot featuring top players like Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka, expressing that the images exude elegance. The eight women will battle it out for the year-end championship, beginning Saturday, November 2.

The WTA posted an image from the gala's photoshoot on X featuring the participants - Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina, Jasmine Paolini, Zheng Qinwen, Jessica Pegula, and Barbora Krejcikova.

The stunning looks displayed by the players combined simplicity with class and resonated deeply with fans. Many felt this photoshoot captured a rare level of sophistication, with one fan writing:

"The way everybody served this happens once every century they look so good man"

"10/10 not a single miss 🤭" another fan wrote.

"Everyone is serving face like this is the best photoshoot for the WTA finals ever. Like simple and classy always looks the best🤩" a third fan wrote.

Here are some more fan reactions to the participants of the WTA Finals at the gala.
