Female tennis stars took some time out to attend the Women’s Tennis Association, or WTA, Players Party on Feb. 17 at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. The players’ party saw some of the WTA stars dressed up for the evening billed as “Arabian Nights.”

Ana Ivanovic, whose tournament campaign ended after her third round loss, 4-6 6-2 6-4, to Karolina Pliskova, looked stunning in a deep neckline sleeveless white tank crop top paired with a long white skirt. Ivanovic shared a snap of her outfit to her Twitter followers.

“Thank you @DDFTennis and the fans for a great experience,” Ivanovic wrote on Twitter. “Good luck to the rest of the players in the tournament.”

Pliskova, on the other hand, donned a casual attire. The 22-year-old Czech tennis player wore a loose sleeveless white top and lime green retro wide leg pants.

Reigning Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, whose Dubai campaign also ended when she was upset 6-3 4-6 6-3 by Carla Suarez-Navarro also in the third round, opted for a sporty look. Kvitova came to the party dressed in white three-quarter sleeve Nike shirt matched with a pink tennis skirt.

Like Kvitova, former Dubai champion Caroline Wozniacki graced the event in a sporty attire. Wozniacki donned a pair of black jogging pants and blue sweatshirt.

Jelena Jankovic was also in attendance at the WTA Players’ Party in Dubai. She sported an emerald dress for the event. Jankovic has also bid farewell to the tournament after her 6-3 6-1 loss to Garbine Muruguza in the second round.

Former World No. 1 Venus Williams, who also suffered an early exit after second round loss, 6-4 6-2, to Lucie Safarova, also made it to the party. She rocked a simple outfit with a head scarf and even posed for a selfie with a parrot.

Other players who were spotted at the Dubai party were Angelique Kerber, 2014 Dubai runner-up Alize Cornet, Kristina Mladenovic and Caroline Garcia. For pictures from the WTA Players’ Party Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, visit the tournament’s website.
