Rafa and Fed’s 2010 NY looks

The US Open is just days away! I get all caught up in the drama surrounding the US Open, perhaps because it’s the final Slam of the year and it’s the only one played in my home country. Night matches that can stretch past midnight, the loud crowd, the hot, humid play — it all [...]

An ode to socks. Yes, socks.

When essential tennis gear comes to mind, racquets, strings and shoes top the list. What I’ve learned is that if you haven’t already added good socks to the list, get out your pen now. When I was a kid, I played in whatever socks my parents bought me, which was usually whatever came in bulk [...]

Entering a new phase in life – and tennis

A lot of my clothes are starting to feel a bit snug these days, and even my tennis gear, which is full of spandex, is starting to get tight. Why, you might ask. Well here it is: My husband and I are expecting our first child. We’re in the second trimester now, and I am [...]

Dressed to impress at Wimbledon

When it comes to Wimbledon, there’s always a sure bet: The apparel will be predominantly white. Though some may argue that mostly white apparel is boring, I enjoy the tradition of tennis so it’s refreshing to see. I also like to see how tennis apparel designers step up to the plate. In the other Slams, [...]

What would Carrie wear?

They’d cause quite the stir as doubles teams: Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda. I wonder what the teams would be? By the way, guys, in case you’re wondering, “What?!!” This is about “Sex and the City.” I don’t know what any of their NTRP ratings are, who’s the better serve and volleyer, who can hit [...]

Ready to ride the Roxy wave?

We’ve just introduced Roxy apparel to our women’s line-up. When I think of Roxy, I think, “Surf’s up!” Lucky for us Roxy is branching out beyond the beach and is offering up fun designs for tennis players. Under Roxy Athletix, there’s a full range of moisture-wicking performance-minded pieces that keep the Roxy design vibe alive. [...]

Rafa lookin’ good on court to win No. 5

By now, most have us know the result of the men’s French Open final, so I feel safe writing a short blog about Rafa’s on-court look. Nike shared some images with us that I thought would be fun to share. (In case you missed the final, Rafa won in convincing fashion, beating Robin Soderling in [...]
