Glow in the dark stick
September 6th, 2009 • maria shutupova, tennis players are fashionists too, the radwanskas, vika azarenka
If we forget the actual tennis for a second, we can focus on the really important stuff: Sharapova‘s day dress.
First, according to TheDailyForehand twitter (I have no desire in fact checking that), the “last time Sharapova debuted a new daytime dress in the 3rd round after night matches in a different outfit, she lost to Radwanska“. Amusing.
Now, let’s talk about the outfit. It’s explained why Sharapova had shoes that didn’t match her silver night dress at all. They were for this lovely ensemble. The bright yellow detail on her white shoes matched… the stripes on her dress… that also matched… the contour of the visor… that also matched the… wait for it… TENNIS BALL. Why yes, I do love it, how can you tell? I just have a couple of questions about the outfit:
- Does it glow in the dark?
- Can I get a “tennis ball” yellow headband with that?
And it’s possible the “Headband Curse” that is going on has the opposite effect on Sharapova. Ever since Vika started wearing the HoS (Headband of Sex), her slump started. But when Sharapova plays without one, she loses. Coincidence? I think not. Discuss.
On the next FierceTennis post, I’ll teach you guys how to make your own Sharapova U.S. Open 2009 day outfit. All you’ll need is a Wimbledon dress, a pink and a yellow highlighter.
Stay tuned.
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.
