With the retirement stars like Serena, Sharapova and Ivanovic, tennis fashion has become dull and boring. Praying Wozniacki can bring some good old fashin to tennis world.
Alfsfr, I agree we’re in a somewhat dull period in terms of fashion. Although the outfits are good, there is no hype and wow factor as there used to be with the tennis fashion icons. Wozniacki brought a lot of excitement with her bodysuit during the US Open, so we got some taste of the good old times.
