The WTA fashion side of Australian Open 2013

It's time for our traditional Grand Slam fashion overview! Unlike in previous years, we will start by looking at the less known brands that made an impact at the 2013 Australian Open and we'll leave the giants such as Nike and Adidas for the end of the article.

German Mona Barthel followed her Hobart run to the finals with a first-round 7-5 2-6 6-4 defeat to Ksenia Pervak at the Australian Open, but she left in style, wearing a gracious dress from Denise Cronwall's 2013 collection. Cronwall's designs are always feminine and romantic and even though this dress doesn't have the designer's signature lace and flower patterns, the wavy seam brings about the recognizable elegant feel.

Another young star Camila Giorgi also had a brief appearance at Melbourne Park, but as always she engraved her fashion mark with a colorful and cheerful outfit that perfectly complements her age and beauty.

Venus Williams is slowly spreading her line and is not the only one wearing her clothes on the tennis courts any more. World No.166, former No.25, Jarmila Gajdosova switched from Lacoste to EleVen and proudly sported the peach and white Oh&Oh tank and a matching skirt. Venus herself is working a dress with watercolor print and thin black contrast binding at the bust, waistline, and shoulders.

Two more fashion switches at this Australian Open are Julia Goerges, who came to Fila from Nike, and Svetlana Kuznetsova, who replaced Fila with Qiaodan. Goerges' Fila debut is all blue: the German was wearing separates from spring 2013 Center Court Collection. Notice that her manicure is perfectly blending with the outfit. Kuznetsova was also all blue, but a different shade of blue, wearing the dress of the Chinese manufacturer. Read more »

Fila and Sharapova Nike for the start of 2013

We've already had a glimpse at Stella McCartney's dress for Caroline Wozniacki's Australian Open campaign and we've seen the Adidas dress intended for Ana Ivanovic, Daniela Hantuchova and others wearing the line, so now that we found the pictures of the Nike dress Maria Sharapova will most probably wear at the upcoming Australian Open and a new Fila dress, we can't help but notice that everything is yellow!

I can't believe it, but just like Adidas, the color combination of Maria Sharapova's rumored Nike dress is yellow and grey. Here you can see the rest of the collection, including separates and other colors.

Fila went for bright yellow with huge open back and a black bra showing completely. Will this provocative Baseline Cami Dress be worn by Jelena Jankovic and Julia Goerges, the new addition to the Fila team?

Below the cut you can see how the Adidas dresses we showed you last month are looking on Wozniacki and Ivanovic. Read more »

Ana Ivanovic representing Adidas Adizero dresses throughout 2012

Adidas on Ana Ivanovic – a must in our tennis fashion overviews. Overall, Adidas is my favorite brand and Adizero is their best line, in my opinion. Let's see the dresses they had on display during 2012.

Ana Ivanovic opened the season with the pink version of last year's Adidas Feather dress, while new stuff was awaiting its launch at the Australian Open.

The first Grand Slam of the season was adorned by a beautiful peach and red dress. I love the low-contrast color combination, the unlikely pairing of peach and red. Adidas took it up a notch for Roland Garros by combining the dark shade of red with lime, a very bright green. Read more »

Sharapova and Ivanovic in Milan: tennis, Armani, shopping, tricky interviews

On December 1st, Maria Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic teamed up for a doubles match for the first time at an exhibition in Milan. Their opponents were experienced Italian partners Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci, who won two Grand Slam doubles titles in 2012, on top of six WTA doubles titles. The newbie doubles team lost, but as individuals, in singles, they were victorious. Tennis was not the only highlight of the Milan story, though.

There was this hilarious interview with Ivanovic and Sharapova. They were asked which thing they would like to have that the other one has, and Sharapova said she would love Serbian fans, as they are more enthusiastic than the Russians. The best, of course, was saved for the last, when the interviewer asked them what they think which one would marry first and Ivanovic responded that Sharapova was closer! Hahaha. Sharapova laughed it out, but slowly started packing her stuff, closing the interview. Read more »

Adidas dresses for Ana Ivanovic's Australian Open and Roland Garros 2013

Just like every year, during the time we are looking back at the outfits of the season behind us, images of new tennis designs are hitting the web. Thanks to Marine of Tennis Notebook I found the Adidas dresses intended for Ana Ivanovic's first half of the 2013 season.

Yellow will be present in Adidas clothes for Ivanovic all through to spring. Above you can see the Australian Open dress, yellow with grey details, while for Roland Garros the dominant color will be blue, with yellow details. Read more »
