“Through the years, tennis has undergone significant transformations, with emerging talents making their mark in the sport. From the era of Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova’s dominance to the present day, where players like Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek have risen to the top of the rankings, the sport has evolved considerably. This transformation was evident in the lead-up to the recent WTA Finals, where the anticipation surrounding the players’ photoshoot was extraordinary.”

Not only did it remind fans about the beauty that they had but also the dominance that they displayed on the courts. The picture was clicked back in 2014 just days ahead of the WTA Finals. The event was held in Singapore and was attended by some of the best players in the world. It was conducted from the 17th to the 26th of October and was the 44th edition. Interestingly, it was Serena Williams who made her way into the finals of the tournament and faced the tough task of Simona Halep. However, Williams did not shy away and went ahead to win the match and therefore laid her hands on the prestigious title. The final scoreline of the match remained 6-3, 6-0 in favor of the American legend. Thus, the old generation of players made a great impact on the sport. Time and again, they proved that they were some of the best players that the tennis world had ever seen. This has built strong pressure on the upcoming gems to reach the heights that she did.
