#WTA Finalists enjoying Singapore
The top women tennis stars started arriving in Singapore throughout the past week. Maria Sharapova (@MariaSharapova) went from a “sweet” practice session to launching her sweet candy line on the famous Orchard Road of shopping malls. Eugenie Bouchard (@GenieBouchard), Simona Halep (@simona_halep) and Ana Ivanovic (@AnaIvanovic), all found time to play tennis with local kids and inspire young women. Along with sponsorship activities, practice sessions and even a flower mixup, it was a busy first week in Singapore for the #WTA finalists.
