Three-stripes, US Open ’09

August 11th, 2009 • ali tsonga, bb safina, nando "slut" verdasco, nole jokevic, tennis players are fashionists too

And the pictures of the Adidas US Open season collection have surfaced. The shock: I like them.

109

They’ve decided to stuck with the “locker room” look again. Relaxed (expect porn actor!Nando) players surrounded by sweaty towels and tennis balls — just the way the tennis gods intended. And even Dina looks quite lovely, doesn’t she? Delicate and strong at the same time.

Now, the outfits. Adidas wins a gold star for using pastel colours for this time of the season. Just as I love citric colours for the clay, I love pastel for the hardcourts. I think it gives a nice contrast with the bright blue/green. I’m hoping, this time, Dina’s shirt fits her. I love her but I don’t need to see her belly ever five seconds, thankyouverymuch.

    The clothes look very nice. When I saw Sorana’s top, I knew things were going to get better from adidas. The designs look original and high quality. Well played, adidas.

    also, wtf, did nando slather himself in lard or something?

    Lovely – especially the yellow on Djokovic. I like that Dinara’s gear sticks to hear (high possibility of *not* seeing her belly!) – though I can’t really see much. Don’t like Verdasco’s…maybe because I’m over him, maybe because of the shorts, I’m not sure.

Fierce Tennis, you say?

Question: What is this awesome piece of the interwebs?

Answer: I have tried and failed several times to keep blogs up. Why? Because I don’t like doing serious journalism unless there’s money showing up in my bank account — and there wasn’t. This blog will have no interest in being impartial or, you know, actually talking about the sport (ok, maybe from time to time). There are tons of other blogs (and news websites) that do this job pretty well already. Here we will discuss the shallow part: the outfits, the gossip, the outrages and who Fernando Verdasco is currently dating.
