Besides doing yearly fashion retrospections for specific WTA players, Women's Tennis Blog is famous for reviewing outfits for every Grand Slam. The Australian Open is entering its second week and the time is just right for us to have a closer look at what the players are wearing. Last year Venus Williams grabbed all the attention with her EleVen designs, but the American is sadly absent this time. In 2012 the spotlight is more evenly distributed and brands such as Nike, Adidas and Fila are leading the pack.

Caroline Wozniacki’s love life is booming, at least its online representation suggests that, and her fashion designer Stella McCartney opted for the color of passion for the world No.1’s Australian Open. Wozniacki accessorized the red dress with a heart-shaped Danish flag pendant that her boyfriend Rory McIlroy gave her for Christmas.

Adidas Adizero used a shade of red for their predominantly peach dress worn by Ana Ivanovic, Daniela Hantuchova and Sorana Cirstea.

Serena Williams is wearing a blue Nike dress with wide tank straps and pleated bottom.

Ana Ivanovic’s official website released photos from her photo shoot with prominent photographer John Russo. The photos were taken in spring and the setting was Red Rock in Las Vegas. The purpose was the cover of Vanidades magazine.

Don’t you love Ana’s look and the scenery? You can see more photos from the shoot in Ana's gallery.

Interesting developments! A few days ago we learnt that Ana Ivanovic ended the second edition of her cooperation with fitness coach Scott Byrnes and now we're hearing that the former world No.1 is currently working with her boyfriend Adam Scott's physio, renowned golf osteopath Tina Maio of Australia.

Byrnes supposedly had some exercises for Ivanovic that she thought no longer suited her needs and Maio came up with better solutions for her shoulder and abdominal problems. However, it is still not defined whether the Serb will hire a new fitness coach full-time.

Adidas is among the most present clothing companies in the tennis world and after featuring the brand's Barricade line on the example of Andrea Petkovic, it's my pleasure to review the Adidas Adilibria and Adizero dresses worn by Daniela Hantuchova and Ana Ivanovic.

Hantuchova was the first to open the season, wearing last year's well-known pink Adidas Women's Fall Adilibria dress, which the Slovak had worn at the 2010 US Open.

From January's Australian Open to April, Ivanovic and Hantuchova wore the beautiful purple Adidas Adilibria dress with an open back, which looks nice but is not favorable for tanning. At Indian Wells Hantuchova also sported the tank from the collection, combined with a white skort.

In Stuttgart Hantuchova launched the pink and orange version of the dress and it was present throughout the clay season, including Roland Garros, and the start of the grass-court season in Birmingham and Eastbourne. In Birmingham semifinals Hantuchova and Ivanovic even played against each other in the same dresses – is that the thing Bethanie Mattek Sands dreads? Read more »

Tennis.com is reporting that Ana Ivanovic and her fitness trainer Scott Byrnes have ended their cooperation again. Byrnes had been Ivanovic's coach from 2006 to 2009 and they renewed their cooperation in July 2011. Five months have passed and Byrnes is leaving the Ivanovic team in the middle of the off-season. It seems that the end of Ivanovic's coaching woes is not in sight.

Off-season is time for looking back on the tennis year behind, and we're doing that by our reflections and analysis, but it's also the time of preparation for the next year and sports designers are already working hard, actually numerous models that the WTA stars are expected to wear in 2012 have already leaked.

Maria Sharapova is expected to go for white with green details for the Australian section of the season. And that's not all – here you can see even more new Nike clothes.

As for Adidas, this week the brand launched their new Barricade 7.0 shoes and in the promo Andrea Petkovic showcased several pieces from the Adidas' new collection, in purple, light blue and red. I was confirmed that those are the designs we'll be seeing on the courts in 2012. Read more »

Ana Ivanovic and her golfer boyfriend Adam Scott tend to keep themselves away from the spotlight, unlike the other tennis-golf pairing of Caroline Wozniacki and Rory McIlroy, but recently Ivanovic has been very publicly supporting her man while she's enjoying the off-season.

Just like last year, Ana Ivanovic overshadowed her overall unsuccessful season, at least in the light of her form of three years ago, by winning the year-ending Commonwealth Bank Tournament of Champions in Bali. In addition, the Serb celebrated her 24th birthday on the joyous day.

Ivanovic reached the final with two victories in straight sets, against Roberta Vinci in the quarterfinals and Nadia Petrova in the semis. In the last match of the tournament, the focused Ivanovic defeated Anabel Medina Garrigues 6-3 6-0, losing just seven points in the second set, and awoke the hopes of a better 2012.

Ana Ivanovic has a chance to celebrate her 24th birthday by defending her Bali title, having advanced to the final by defeating Nadia Petrova despite a set point against her in the second set. Her opponent in the title match will be Anabel Medina Garrigues whose second straight opponent retired from the match injured. Hopefully she will not bring bad luck to Ivanovic, who has already had an injury scare because of a fall in Bali quarterfinals. Read more »
