WTA Releases Individual Portraits of Finals Singles Players
The WTA has released individual portraits of the eight singles players competing at the 2026 WTA Finals, replacing the tournament’s usual group photograph. The portraits, taken in Indian Wells, feature the players in designer and streetwear looks ahead of the competition, scheduled to begin November 8.
Photographer Anna Webber made the portraits, with Danyul Brown styling the players. Mirra Andreeva and Jessica Pegula wore Chanel, Coco Gauff wore Miu Miu, Elena Rybakina chose Dior, Karolína Muchová wore Balenciaga and Elina Svitolina appeared in Tom Ford. Aryna Sabalenka combined Gucci and Nike, while Linda Nosková wore pieces from The Frankie Shop and Missoni.
The WTA said the photography celebrates the players’ personalities and individual fashion identities. In comments about the styling, Brown said each player brought her own ideas and references, while the shoot maintained a cohesive look. The images also present athletes in settings inspired by spectators and fans. A separate photograph features Gauff, Rybakina and Sabalenka with the tournament’s bespoke Mercedes-Benz winners’ car.
