GEAR UP

TOUR DE FASHION:

We love (and are very envious of) the clothing contracts that the professional tennis players receive.

Most items are made specifically for them and not for consumer consumption.

Like the custom t-shirts that Roger Federer and Andy Murray are practicing in at The French Open.

Rafael Nadal's custom shirt is by Nike, his clothing provider.

Federer has a contract with Nike:

Adidas dresses Murray:

Nike and Nadal, they go to together like sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na yip-pit-y boom de boom

(This was actually him practicing in Queens).

Smokin HOT little Ricky Gasquet has a contract with Lacoste:

The great clothing contracts of yesteryear!!

Tennis legend Bjorn Borg was outfitted exclusively by Fila. (Every item of Borg's collection we coveted during the 70s and 80s!!)

That iconic red apres match jacket of Borg's: TO. DIE. FOR.

Firecracker John McEnroe was generously dressed by Sergio Tacchini:

This zip-up is one of our absolute favorites:

Spanish player Juan Aguilera dons Ellesse.

We LOVE Ellesse!!

Ellesse dressed superstar Guillermo Vilas, as well.

And, we couldn't make a tennis post without mentioning our Nole Cakes, who refused to wear a shirt for us!!

Sergio Tacchini generously provides Novak with his tennis gear. His racquets are by Head.
