Cirque du Soleil trapeze-style stuff, lots of stretchy positions in the air on ribbons, images of unicorns and hearts, lots of tennis balls, then an awkward synchronized dance to Beyonce's "Girls"...a solid 15 minutes and then another 10-15 minutes of sponsor and tournament speeches...now skanks in weird outfits are finally awarding the trophies.
i love it. it's different :yeah: like a challenge for Dubai to do better :spit:
and the speech from the tournament director about valentine day. pure gold :lol:
didn't watch, but when this one was similar to the set break performances all week long here i'd say congrats to tourney organizers for trying something different for once. :yeah:
Honestly I dont mind if they throw some spectacles here and there for the trophy ceremony. It really lives up the tournament.
ATP started it with Doha early January, and now St. Petey. Maybe this will become a norm in the near future

The thing is they've got the license from WTA only for three years (this one included), so I guess they just try really hard to impress everyone and extend it lol. The city loves tennis, tbh
Not to my personal taste but appreciate the effort which was 10/10. For that, and the better than average WTA crowds attendance, this event deserves to continue next year IMO.
It was certainly a lot better than waiting for ages for the presentation ceremony to start with nothing happening, which is what usually happens. When the show finished the players were already out in the middle and they were ready to start the presentation. It was well organised.
The important thing is that it doesn't end up upstaging the trophy presentation.
