U.S. Open Players Step Up Their Fashion Game

Maybe Roger has a delivery for Anna?Photo: Getty Images

Vania King, left, is wearing the tennis dress we always wanted when we were 7. Victoria Azarenka's dress, right, is a more grown-up choice. Reminds us of the whole "Blue Steel" thing from Zoolander.Photo: Getty Images

We wouldn't mind if Rafael Nadal, left, ditched the almost-manpris, but his muscles make up for any fashion missteps. And Viktor Troicki's shirt, right, just screams nerdy dad.Photo: Getty Images

Caroline Wozniacki, left, looks like Roger's sister in her brownish-gray dress, but it works well with that orange accent. We'd wear it to aerobics in a swift heartbeat. Dinara Safina, right, has a thing for the pink, too. And though we'd never do it, we love that her sneakers match.Photo: Getty Images

Ahhh! Another nerdy dad! Er, Igor Kunitsyn, left. Has no one in tennis fashion design traded stripes for plaid yet? Novak Djokovic, right, is high-tech, or at least his sleeve is. The color scheme is delightfully Miami Vice.Photo: Getty Images

We love both the Williams sisters' looks. Serena, left, did bright color in a more mature, accessible way. And we never would have thought to wear Venus's neckline during physical activity, but now we'll look for a workout top that's just as spiffy.Photo: Getty Images
