Top Five Worst-Dressed Tennis Players: 2011 French Open

The French Open…this is the highlight of the year for clay-court tennis aficionados! For those of us that love tennis AND fashion, there were plenty of stylish players on the red clay in 2011 – some are still around, and others have said “Au Revoir.” When it comes to style mishaps, we thought we were in the clear with the absence of the Williams sisters, but this is plainly not the case. Check out our picks for the…

Top Five Worst-Dressed Tennis Players: 2011 French Open

Bethanie Mattek-Sands Bethanie Mattek-Sands of USA awaits a serve during the women's singles round three match between Jelena Jankovic of Serbia and Bethanie Mattek-Sands of USA on day six of the French Open at Roland Garros on May 27, 2011 in Paris, France.





1st PRIZE – Bethanie Mattek-Sands – What??
This “get-up” is just wrong on so many levels we don’t even know where to begin…the photo says it all!

Kim Clijsters Kim Clijsters of Belgium gathers her thoughts during the women's singles round two match between Arantxa Rus of Netherlands and Kim Clijsters of Belgium on day five of the French Open at Roland Garros on May 26, 2011 in Paris, France. 













2nd PRIZE – Kim Clijsters - Jackson Pollock, Gone Wrong!
John Isner - 2011 French Open - Day ThreeNote to Kim: Splatter paint went out in the 80’s, and even when it was trendy, it was unattractive. There is waaaay too much going on with this outfit, and on top of that, these colors are awful! The idea is to choose shades that complement the orange-red clay, and this shade of pink is the furthest thing from complementary!
Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia plays a forehand during the women's singles round one match between Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia and Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia on day one of the French Open at Roland Garros on May 22, 2011 in Paris, France.








Jelena Jankovic Jelena Jankovic of Serbia serves during the women's singles round one match between Jelena Jankovic of Serbia and Alona Bondarenko of Ukraine on day one of the French Open at Roland Garros on May 22, 2011 in Paris, France. 

3rd PRIZE – John Isner - Bar Graphs make Bad Fashion!
One would think that the last thing John Isner would want is to call attention to his “Herman Munster” physique. Our advice: Go for solids, John!












4th PRIZE – Magdalena Rybarikova – Pajama Party!
Did Magdalena raid Francesca Shiavone’s closet? The “pajama experiment” was a dismal failure in our opinion, and we hope it will NOT be making a comeback next year. Our recommendation: try something a little sportier, and ditch the pastels - they have a tendency to “wash out” players with a light complexion. This goes for you too, Maria Sharapova!










5th PRIZE – Jelena Jankovic - Jumped the Shark?
Clothing can say a lot about a person. Compared to the simple and classic Reebok styles we were used to, this dress from her new sponsor, ANTA, looks busy and cheap. While we typically love Jelena in pink, this shade doesn’t pair well with the burnt-orange clay. And, instead of matching or complementing the outfit, these purples shoes clash!






Do you think that there was something else that deserves the WORST mention? Let us know!
