The Seven Best Outfits at This Year’s US Open
Observant fashionistas will have noticed an interesting trend this year. Grand Slams are no longer just about tennis: they now double as cat walks as well. With ‘tennis core’ becoming a big trend in both men’s and women’s casual wear, brands are taking the opportunity to show off their wares at the US Open this […]
Sponsorship Changes 2024
The sponsorship changes in gear and apparel for 2024 are coming in. Here are a few early spots (more to come). Before we look at the early sponsorship changes in 2024, I want to thank you, fellow tennis nerds on Instagram, who always message us when you spot something interesting. You’re appreciated! Iga Swiatek changes […]
Why are tennis players wearing the same outfits during a match?
I’ve gotten some questions from friends who watch tennis on TV why the players are wearing the same design outfit during the match, sometimes making it difficult to make out who’s who. The answer is really quite obvious, yet the question makes sense. Let’s say Nike sends the same kind of outfits to their sponsored […]
Fabio Fognini to Hydrogen
Italian tennis player Fabio Fognini is moving from Adidas apparel to Italian brand skull-inspired brand Hydrogen. In the above pic he is posing with the Hydrogen founder Alberto Bresci, who closed 2016 with a 15% rise and a revenue of approximately 12 million euro. Fabio Fognini joins his friend Simone Bolelli and Nikoloz Basilashvili in the Hydrogen […]
Roger Federer at the Hopman Cup

Asics Gel Resolution 7 Tennis Shoes
Finally my personal favourite among tennis shoes, the Asics Gel Resolution 6, has received an update with the Asics Gel Resolution 7. I have played with other versions of the Asics Gel Resolution too and they’ve all been good, with some slight differences in the fit of the shoe. What I really enjoy is the […]
Nike Court Roger Federer Collection
Roger Federer has collaborated with Nike Lab to create a premium new collection called NikeCourt x RF. As you can see below the clothes are classy yet comfortable, which I think nails the personality of Federer in a good way. This collection is not going to cheap with prices with a pair of shorts or […]
Djokovic and Nishikori Roland Garros Kits
The Roland Garros kits of Novak Djokovic and Kei Nishikori was published (leaked?) by Uniqlo. Looks pretty standard to me, definitely not a stand-out look. But that’s never been Uniqlo’s or Djokovic’s strength either. Personally, I prefer the Federer or Rafa Nike lines.
The Adidas Roland Garros Y3 Collection
The Adidas Roland Garros Y3 Collection is revealed and it looks like a zebra. Nike usually plays it quite safe during the grand slams (giving Dimitrov a sleeveless shirt for the Australian Open was maybe not safe, just not thought through properly) but Adidas is trying a different approach for this French Open. Maybe they […]
