It's Barbie-mania around the world, and it's made its way to the tennis courts with players picking who Barbie and Ken are.
The Tennis Tour is not safe from Barbie-mania as the film continues to be the most talked about film in recent weeks. It's been everywhere, and now it's made its way to the tennis courts. The Citi Open jumped on the bandwagon and got some players to sit down and discuss which players they could see playing Barbie or Ken.
Players that took part include Coco Gauff, Sloane Stephens, Daria Kasatkina, Jessica Pegula, Elina Svitolina, Andy Murray, Frances Tiafoe, Christopher Eubanks, Taylor Fritz and Felix Auger-Aliassime. Despite the topic being about Barbie we've got some solid male representation in there so let's start with the gentlemen and their picks first.
A few of them actually named Casper Ruud for Ken finding that he fits the part well. Auger-Aliassime named Ruud as did Taylor Fritz and Christopher Eubanks. Tiafoe however named Eubanks while Andy Murray went with the standard Berrettini for handsomeness pick.
When it comes to the WTA part of the equation, well we had plenty of variety. We didn't get any overlap in the opinions as all players chose somebody else. Coco Gauff named Paula Badosa as the player perfect to play Barbie. Sloane Stephens named Gauff, while Kasatkina named Elena Rybakina.
Pegula named Maria Sakkari for Barbie while Elina Svitolina named Stephens. Quite a lot of differing opinions on this one though it's a tough thing to answer. Different preferences and tastes come into play with this one.
Casper Ruud seemed to have been a very good pick considering that the event social media team dug up a photo of him with bleached hair and certainly looks the part. Check out the video and the photo of Ruud with bleached hair below.
