Wear This, Not That! Fashion Highlights from the 2011 Sony Ericsson Open in Miami Part 2

Every young kid starting out in tennis dreams of a host of grand slams and a Nike sponsorship.  While they do cut an attractive tennis outfit, not every player is fortunate enough to be a part of the Nike “team,” and surprisingly, not all of them want to be.  This year’s Miami Sony Ericsson Open brought out the style in certain players and the unattractive in others.  Here’s a look at some of the players who “just do it” in non-Nike apparel.

Kim Clijsters - Sony Ericsson Open  





WEAR THIS! 
This grand-slammer is a true-blue Fila client and looks adorable in this two-piece tennis outfit.  A great color combination in Fila Center Court Cap Sleeve Tennis Top and  Center Court Skort brings out Kim’s fair complexion and the matching accessories are gravy – way to go, Kimmie!  

 


 

Dominika Cibulkova - Sony Ericsson Open 






NOT THAT!
Dear Ms. Cibulkova – pastels are not your friend!












Shuai Peng - Sony Ericsson Open 






WEAR THIS!
This bright orange, sleeveless ensemble  and matching white visor by ANTA successfully sported by Shuai Peng embodies the three C’s – cool, comfortable and cute!! 








Francesca Schiavone of Italy reacts against Lourdes Dominguez Lino of Spain during the Sony Ericsson Open at Crandon Park Tennis Center on March 27, 2011 in Key Biscayne, Florida.









NOT THAT! Dear Ms. Sciavone – Not again!  PJs are for sleeping, and capped sleeves should be limited to girls aged twelve and under!







Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France follows through on a return against Teymuraz Gabashvili of Russia during the Sony Ericsson Open at Crandon Park Tennis Center on March 26, 2011 in Key Biscayne, Florida. 






WEAR THIS!
There’s only one word for Jo-Willie in this form-fitting outfit by Adidas – “HOT!”

(check Adidas Adizero Theme Tennis Polo and Adidas Adizero Tennis Bermuda Short)







Feliciano Lopez of Spain looks on against Juan Ignacio Chela of Argentina during the Sony Ericsson Open at Crandon Park Tennis Center on March 26, 2011 in Key Biscayne, Florida. 





NOT THAT! And here are two words for this bland “patchwork” design from Joma and matching headband worn by Feliciano Lopez:  “NOT HOT!”








Juan Monaco of Argentina celebrates after he won match point against Sergiy Stakhovsky of the Ukraine during the Sony Ericsson Open at Crandon Park Tennis Center on March 26, 2011 in Key Biscayne, Florida. 







WEAR THIS! Is that Jo-Willie’s shirt?  This is a great preppy look for Juan Monaco – in “all whites” with just a splash of color, he may just “sail” through this match! 










Jarkko Nieminen - Sony Ericsson Open 







NOT THAT!
Note to Jarkko:  You may want to de-emphasize your thin build with a better shirt design and less baggy shorts!


 







Whether a young kid just starting out or a grand slam-hogging professional – some tennis players just seem to “get it” when it comes to on-court fashion and others just don’t.  Most players however, are a work in progress – they will find their own unique style sooner or later!
