Ahead of the BNP Paribas Open, several tennis stars came together for the Taste of Tennis event, an evening filled with gourmet cuisine, lively music, and fan interactions. This year, the event was held at the Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort and Villas, with Tennis Channel commentator and former ATP player Nick Monroe serving as host. Let’s take a look at exclusive photos from the night and see which tennis players were in attendance.
The biggest WTA star at the event was Olympic gold medalist Zheng Qinwen, who showed up in an elegant white ensemble—a stylish sleeveless cropped vest paired with high-waisted wide-leg trousers. She completed the look with open-toe white sandals, a black leather shoulder bag, and delicate jewelry.
Bethanie Mattek-Sands, known for her bold fashion choices both on and off the court, made a statement at the event in a relaxed athleisure look. She opted for a pastel pink oversized quarter-zip sweatshirt paired with matching sweatpants, embracing a laid-back aesthetic. The former doubles world No. 1 completed her look with chunky sneakers featuring a mix of black, white, and gray tones.
Alycia Parks exuded confidence in a striking all-black ensemble. The American wore a sleek, form-fitting jumpsuit with bold cutouts, accentuated by gold heart-shaped hardware at the bust and waist. She completed the look with trendy flip-flop heels. With her long, straight hair flowing effortlessly and her makeup emphasizing her radiant complexion and bold eyes, Parks balanced power and glamour.
Dayana Yastremska exuded luxury in an off-white, moderately oversized suit, layered over a chic nude turtleneck. Her blonde hair was styled in soft, beachy waves, perfectly complementing her polished yet relaxed ensemble. The Ukrainian tennis star’s complexion appeared especially radiant, while her noticeably fuller lips hinted at a possible cosmetic enhancement.
Katerina Siniakova channeled ‘90s fashion in a bold hot pink mini skirt, paired with a cropped striped cardigan. The Czech completed the ensemble with sleek nude pointed-toe heels, while hoop earrings provided a classic accent. Embracing her natural curls, the tennis star let her voluminous hair take center stage.
When it comes to ATP players, Alexander Zverev was the star of the evening, showing up with his girlfriend Sophia Thomalla.
Celebrated coach Patrick Mouratoglou was also there.
The attendees sampled incredible cuisine including Lamb Barbacoa + Caviar from by Chef Angelo Sosa (Tía Carmen and Carmocha), Smoked Tomahawk Ribeye by Chef Omar Salinas (Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas), Pan Seared Chilean Seabass by Chef Eric Stenberg (Kestrel A Richard Blais Kitchen + Lounge) and more.
Throughout the evening, guests sipped on win and beer from Pride Mountain Vineyards, Clementine Carter Wines, Chateau La Coste, Bero Brewing and Corona Premier + specialty cocktails by Segafredo Zanetti, Lalo Tequila and Voss Water.
