MusaForget racquets and drop shots—Day 1 of the 2025 French Open served a different kind of flex: the headphone drip. As players strutted through the corridors of Roland Garros, fans and fashion hawks alike couldn’t help but clock the audio accessories doubling as bold fashion statements. Leading the audio-chic parade? None other than Ben Shelton, Aryna Sabalenka, and Zheng Qinwen.
Ben Shelton, tennis’ resident Gen-Z showman, came in hot—sporting a pair of neon yellow Beats Studio Pro cans that matched his electric energy. Was it a nod to his serve speed or his playlist full of Drake and Travis Scott bangers? Either way, Ben knows how to keep the vibes as loud as his game.
Aryna Sabalenka, never one to shy away from a power move, opted for sleek and sultry Sony WH-1000XM5s in matte black. Noise-canceling? Yes. But make it fierce. As she strolled in, oversized sunnies on and hoodie up, she looked less like a tennis player and more like the CEO of crushing forehands. Her vibe screamed: “I’m not just here to win. I’m here to dominate—and do it in style.”
Meanwhile, Zheng Qinwen kept it minimalist chic with a pair of Apple AirPods Max in silver. Paired with a crisp white tracksuit, she exuded futuristic elegance, like she’d stepped out of a K-pop concept shoot and straight onto Court Suzanne-Lenglen. Her playlist? Rumor has it she’s partial to Mandopop and motivational TED Talks. A true hybrid queen.
Tennis fashion has evolved far beyond the court, and in 2025, the walk-in is just as watched as the warm-up. These stars proved that the right pair of headphones isn’t just about sound—it’s a statement. Game. Set. Style. 🎧💥
