Outfits are always a hot topic in tennis, especially at the majors and spotting the fashion hits and misses is probably every spectator’s favourite pastime.
After debuting his unfortunate sleeveless look on opening day, Grigor Dimitrov wisely switched to a regular t-shirt on Wednesday in his second round and it’s possible the hilarious reaction on the internet is what drove him to rectify the situation – at least we hope so.
After seeing Eugenie Bouchard’s dress/top – it’s very difficult to figure out what it was – one journalist joked that Dimitrov actually loaned his sleeveless shirt to wear for her match own match on Wednesday. You know, keeping it in the Nike family and all that.
Familiar?: Eugenie Bouchard’s shirt-dress.
But on a more serious note, Nick Kyrgios suffered some short-related drama during his second-round match with Pablo Cuevas as they were apparently too small for him and were hindering his performance. The young Aussie had to change his shorts mid-match and sounded quite stressed about it after his victory.
“It was an absolute circus,” Kyrgios said. “I’m not going to talk too much about it, but it was just a massive mix up and that’s just part of the challenges you face.”
Can you imagine losing a match because your shorts were too tight? Luckily, Kyrgios didn’t have to find out.
Serena Williams found the sneakiest way to plug her friend Eva Longoria’s new TV show, ‘Telenovela’, while dodging a question about why her sister Venus skipped her mandatory post-match press conference on Tuesday, which saw the American veteran fined a record $5,000 for the offence.
“I don’t know. If you want to, you can ask her… In fact, I was watching Telenovela. I’m coming apart, though. Do we have any more questions?” said Serena.
