The Paris Olympics 2024 start in a week and will witness top sporting talent from across the globe take center stage in Paris. Like other sports, tennis will also field a near full-strength field that will sweat it out on the court for podium finishes.
With not much time left to kickstart the Games, tennis players have begun their preparation on and off the court. Earlier today, some Olympic pictures of WTA players went viral on social media. One of the fans shared pictures of the likes of Iga Swiatek, Bianca Andreescu, Angelique Kerber, and Jessica Pegula.
However, what caught the eyes of fans was the fact that they looked nearly unrecognizable with their bare faces up close to the camera. As a result, fans took to social media to share hilarious reactions on this matter. Olympic rules state that the photographs of players should not have any expressions or makeup on their faces.
It is a bizarre rule that has been in play for years and the pictures of the likes of Swiatek and Andreescu looked unrecognizable. Along with the duo, fans struggled to identify Pegula and Kerber.
Players have to submit their photographs to register themselves for the Olympic Games. However, there are some strict rules and guidelines in place for the type of picture submitted. It should be on a white background and the players must not sport any sort of makeup or expression.
