Wimbledon doubles champion Kristina Mladenovic has urged the WTA Finals to reinstate the traditional glamorous group photo featuring all qualified players. The French player, a multiple Grand Slam doubles title winner, expressed her desire to see the return of the iconic pre-tournament photo that showcases the season's top eight singles players and doubles teams.
In a statement on November 7, 2026, Mladenovic said the group photo adds to the event's prestige and provides a memorable moment for fans and players alike. The WTA Finals, the season-ending championship for women's tennis, previously featured a group photo session that was discontinued in recent years.
