This season’s best eight WTA players are in Shenzhen, the Chinese city now hosting the WTA Finals for the first time. Friday was marked by the glamorous draw ceremony, so let’s see how the ladies are opening the sport’s crown jewel tournament.
World No.1 and reigning French Open champion Ashleigh Barty, who heads the field on her maiden singles appearance at the WTA Finals, showed up at the draw gala in an asymmetrical black dress featuring a white-accented ruffle on the right sleeve.
The Australian has secured top position in the final standings on the Porsche Race to Shenzhen Leaderboard, which means that a brand-new Porsche, whichever model she chooses, will find its home in her garage.
