The dress Aryna Sabalenka will wear at the US Open is quite shocking! Her confidence is sky-high, and she has never been afraid to show off her incredible physique. New York is the perfect place to let loose and embrace a fearless style, and the two-time defending champion is doing exactly that with a daring combination of a bright orange sports bra and shorts layered under a black fishnet Nike dress.

At Roland Garros, Sabalenka’s Nike Summer Slam Dress already introduced this provocative aesthetic, featuring a black mesh overlay layered over a seductive red leotard base. But for the US Open, the world No. 1 is taking things to another level. Her new dress is even more revealing, with large fishnet openings that leave very little to the imagination.
It is essentially a bra and shorts with a dramatic mesh layer on top, creating a look that is bold, unapologetic, and perfectly suited to Sabalenka’s powerful personality and the energy of New York.
As Sabalenka explained, the dress takes its inspiration from basketball, rounding out Nike’s sports-inspired themes across this year’s Grand Slams: surfing at the Australian Open, ballet at Roland Garros, and cricket at Wimbledon. Naomi Osaka puts her own monochromatic spin on the basketball-inspired look, while Alexandra Eala opts for royal blue in her Nike New York Slam Dress.
You can now shop the new Nike collection at both Tennis Warehouse USA and Tennis Warehouse Europe.
