The shallow
October 1st, 2009 • Anastasia Myskina, Anna Kournikova, Daniela Hantuchova, Elena Dementieva, Rockstars, Victoria Azarenka, Yanina Wickmayer
I’ve a watched a total of one match in Tokyo: the Pavs-Venus one. I do not have the hypocrisy to comment on the tennis. I could look at the stats, read the articles and come up with my own thoughts but not having actually watched the matches, I’d feel like I was lying. Therefore, I’ll comment on what I can:
Vika. In shorts!
“Is that really blog-worthy?”, you might ask. “Yes”, I’d say, “It’s my blog, shut up.”
I love tennis skirts. I even prefer to play in skirts, they look cuter. But when every WTA-er is playing in one… it gets boring. I wonder if it’s a femininity thing. Because the girls are professional athletes, with strong muscles and all, maybe they feel like they get girlier in skirts. If that’s the case: fail, ladies, fail. Most of the time, a fitting pair of short shorts look a lot more feminine and sexier than these loose dresses at the hips they wear.
If you’re a professional tennis player reading this and you’re wondering what to wear next season, let me help you. I imagine the headband is a given. So let’s continue on the shorts — which type suits you best.
Considered one of the sport’s greatest fashion style, Anna K. knew how to wear her shorts.
The belt is what makes the outfit. In both cases, it’s used to complement the bi-colour scheme. Simple, feminine and stylish. Even Elena Dementieva wore a rip-off (+ ridiculously amounts of FAIL) from Yonex.
Another player that was famous for her short-wearing was crazy, crazy Nastya Myskina. When she isn’t on reality shows, making out with girlbands members or riding horses naked… she is wearing shorts! Trufax.
And to finish this (because oh my goodness, it was serious HARD), lovely Daniela Hantuchova and Yanina Wickmayer.
Today’s Lesson: LESS dresses that make you look like you’re pregnant, MORE shorts.
Professional tennis players, feel free to e-mail me for fashion help. It will only cost a small fee. Ty.
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.
I love the shorts, too.
(I want to dress Elena – what were those bastards at Yonex thinking when they put her in that/ALL OF HER OUTFITS?!)
