The tennis season may have just switched to grass, but there’s already another big competition taking kicking off on the turf: Euro 2016. The competition, which starts today in France, pits the best national teams in Europe against one other. Along with the Copa America – which is already underway in the United States – there’s a lot of football going on!

So we got to thinking: if WTA players were a national team, who would be in our starting lineup?

Here’s our official WTA starting lineup:

The WTA plays in a classic 4-4-2 formation, which means that along with a goalkeeper, we’re fielding four defenders, four midfielders, and two strikers.

Think you could pick a better team? Who would you chose to be in your starting lineup?

FORWARDS:

We’re playing with two strikers in our WTA XI, so of course we’re starting two of the most powerful attack-minded players in the game:

· Serena Williams

· Garbiñe Muguruza

We certainly think our choices are solid, but these two definitely aren’t the only ones who know how to take their scoring opportunities. Maybe

 some of the players listed on the right would make a better choice?

MIDFIELDERS:

Players in this position are known to be skillful and patient, turning defense into offence on a dime.

For the midfielders in our WTA XI, we’re going with some of the most creative players known for their variety:

· Agnieszka Radwanska

· Simona Halep

· Timea Bacsinszky

· Belinda Bencic

Who would you put in your midfield? Would you stick with these or chose some of the players on the right?

DEFENDERS:

Defenders have to be rock-solid in order to diffuse all attacks.

Our WTA XI is full of the most consistent, defense-minded returners and counter punchers:

· Angelique Kerber

· Victoria Azarenka

· Sara Errani

· Caroline Wozniacki

These four seem solid to us, but would a player listed at right do a better job in defense? 

Take your pick now!

 

 

GOALKEEPERS:

The last line of defense, goalkeepers are known for their quick reflexes, being good on the stretch but most importantly: they’re tall.

In our WTA XI, we trust our goal in the hands of:

· Petra Kvitova

We believe in our goalkeeper Kvitova, but maybe you’d have a different choice in mind?
