That move came out 80 years ago - most of us should be too young to understand but that's no excuse for not having a proper meme education in the 21st century.

The group pics are horrific. Maybe they hired the cousin of a staffer?

Someone didn't get the memo. Swiatek looks stunning - almost unrecognizable in the best way.

My kids wouldn't post pictures that bad!

Someone on r/tennis said to wait until the official photos come out.

Bacalar Group


1. Aryna Sabalenka
4. Elena Rybakina
5. Jessica Pegula
8. Maria Sakkari

Chetumal Group

2. Iga Swiatek
3. Coco Gauff
6. Ons Jabeur
7. Marketa Vondrousova

The obvious SF's are clear, but will there be surprises?

Oh? Clear? Do tell...

Sabalenka, Swiatek, Gauff, Rybakina

I’ll take Pegula over Rybakina for second spot in their group.

And we know there will be at least one surprise

Of course. Not saying it's for certain, but on average those are the four best on hard courts.

Just share this selfie, please.

Love the picture, and love Aryna for taking it.
Such a contrast of that infamous shot, ages ago, with all the players sitting on a bench and all of them glued to their phones because none could stand any of the others. These women are competitors, but not enemies.
And, yes. Iga is unrecognizable in a good way.

Why is Iga the only one wearing red?!

I will wait to see what the court is like .even hard courts have a wide range...

These photographs are awful. Did they hire my mother as the photographer?
