What has been happening on social media in the tennis world?

There is a Grand Slam tournament starting in a few days… but that doesn’t mean the stars don’t have time to party.

The annual WTA Pre-Wimbledon Party is always a highly-anticipated event for the players – and we love it too, because it means lots of great photos for our social round-up…

Victoria Azarenka, Daria Gavrilova and Shelby Rogers were all glowing:

Naomi Osaka and Alize Cornet were in high spirits:

But it was business as usual for Lucas Pouille, grinding away in practice:

Doubles star Raven Klaasen was hanging out in the Wimbledon changerooms, where he showed his skills extend beyond the court:

Fabio Fognini had a busy day, practicing with Kei Nishikori then taking selfies with Tommy Haas:

Rising Russian star Karen Khachanov practiced with one of his idols – Juan Martin del Potro:

Not far away in Roehampton, some qualifiers were making their Wimbledon dreams come true. Among them were Stefanos Tsitsipas, Andrew Whittington, Taylor Fritz and Alex Ward:

Finally a poor ball girl at the Boodles exhibition event had a day she won’t forget. After being accidentally hit by a Thanasi Kokkinakis serve, she got a hug from Alexander Zverev and a shirt from the Aussie player… now that’s some consolation!
