Garden-themed evening blends sport, fashion and entertainment
DUBAI – Dubai’s biggest women’s tennis week opened with a touch of glamour as leading players gathered for the annual WTA Players’ Party at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.
The off-court celebration brought together many of the sport’s most recognisable names in a relaxed and stylish setting. The event took place ahead of a packed week of elite matches at the tournament venue and welcomed players, organisers, partners, and invited guests.
Held alongside championship activities, the evening offered a social highlight away from the intensity of match preparation and training schedules.
Off-court glamour
Set against an elegant garden backdrop, the party gave players an opportunity to unwind while enjoying live entertainment and curated performances. The programme reflected the tournament’s established mix of sport, lifestyle, and hospitality, with roaming acts and music creating a vibrant yet intimate atmosphere.
Among those in attendance were World No. 4 Coco Gauff, new Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina, and rising teenage star Mirra Andreeva. Dubai champions also present included Jasmine Paolini and Elina Svitolina, adding further star power to the evening gathering.
Star presence
Players posed for photographs, shared light-hearted moments, and interacted with tournament stakeholders and representatives from Dubai Duty Free. The setting encouraged informal connections and highlighted the strong sense of community surrounding the women’s event in Dubai.
