I'm amazed at how far tennis fashion for the grand slams has evolved. Not every outfit is a "hit", but at least many players are willing to take some risks. I always look forward to seeing how far the athletic brands can think outside of the box--or the lines (couldn't resist that one). Let me know your thoughts in the comments section.
This outfit has caused quite a stir (not to mention healthy Facebook debate!). I love her flair but would have preferred to see her choose red shorts instead of the nude.
It surprised me that Serena is the relatively low-key one this tournament--she usually makes the bigger statement. A lot of players wear blue during the tournament which photographs well against the orange dirt.
Here they are in their doubles outfits which are a little more subdued.
Aravane Rezai, less well known in the states, adds some of her home country's French flare with gold lame--and I think some lace.
I like the subtle tone on tone print of Caroline Wozniacki's dress.
Alize Cornet, a French player looking very French in navy and white stripes.
The beautiful Ana Ivanovic in a nice red/orange outfit.
But the winner has to be Maria Sharapova. She's always creative, well put-together and fashionable.
I figured I would mention a couple of men. Most Improved has to be Rafa. Not too long ago he was sporting capris (manpri's) and a tacky graphic muscle shirt. Now he's taken a page from Roger's fashion playbook and is wearing classy flat front shorts and a nice color combo shirt--that looks great against the orange clay.
The winner for the men is, and will always be, Roger. Classy. Champion. He may not always win, but he has elevated tennis to the next level in so many ways.
Thanks to the Roland Garros French Open website for "letting" me jack these photos.
