WATCH: Stephens, Pavlyuchenkova meet dolphins in Zhuhai

A few lucky WTA Elite Trophy stars spend a day at a theme park.

Published Nov 02, 2017

In Zhuhai for the WTA Elite Trophy, Sloane Stephens, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, Shuai Zhang and Jing-Jing Lu went on a field trip to the Chimelong Ocean Park. The players got up close and personal with a crew of talented dolphins, even taking part in the show.

While both Pavlychenkova and Stephens were lucky to meet with dolphins, their on-court luck hasn't been as great. Though Pavlyuchenkova won her opening round over Angelique Kerber, her loss to Ashleigh Barty cost her a semifinal berth. Stephens dropped her first match to Anastasija Sevastova, who won her next round in straight sets to reach the semifinals.
