Wintour's Tennis Picks

Spotted recently on the tournament's red carpet, Wintour kept her options open when asked about her favorite players. "How could you possibly pick one?" she laughed, acknowledging the array of talent. She mentioned young players like Michelsen, along with the legendary Williams sisters, remarking that seeing them play was akin to "turning back time". However, she wasn’t shy in naming her all-time favorite: the one and only Roger Federer, illuminating her adoration for the Swiss superstar before heading off to cheer on the next match alongside actor Colman Domingo and political advisor Huma Abedin.
