In professional tennis, it is not customary for partners or significant others to join players on the court for post-match trophy photos.
Typically, these ceremonies are reserved for theathletesthemselves, along with officials and sometimes their coaches.
Last year’s Madrid Open illustrates these norms and the formalities associated with post-match trophy ceremonies.

During the 2023 Madrid Open, American tennis player Jessica Pegula expressed her disappointment over the “silencing” of thewomen’sdoubles finalists.
At the time, the tournament ended controversially as runners-up Jessica and Coco Gauff and winners Victoria Azarenka and Beatriz Haddad Maia were not allowed to do the traditional post-match trophy speeches following the final,Tennis365reported in May 2023.
After the quartet was handed their trophies and posed for pictures, there reportedly was confusion on the podium, as no microphones were handed to any of the players and the ceremony ended without any speeches.
