I hate both Roger's and Rafa's dresses. This fluorescent highlighter color dresses are childish
and horrible.

The interviewer told Roger that even if they switched off all the lights it would be easy to
find Roger. Bodo writes that perhaps Rafa felt under the radar and wanted to get noticed with
the dress.

I like the short shorts of Rafa (much better than the pirate look). But, I don't like the
pink strips on the sides of the shorts.

I wouldn't wear it, but I actually think it suits Rafa quite well. I too like the short shorts generally. I try and show off some thigh to the ladies myself in yoga class.

^ Just back from the gym and did 4 sets of 20 reps with 420kg (926LBS) on the leg press. Had medium length shorts on but I love the look some of the juice heads give me when they see a normal sized fella lift more than they could ever dream of even loaded to the gills full of Sustanon 250 :D Shorter shorts for tennis players are definitely good if they have big quads. Makes them look more menacing and imposing out there. Looks bad on a skinny runt though obviously!

The worst part of his outfit: the shorts looked like pajama bottoms for a little boy. :nono

^ H & M continues to dress Berdych in night mare outfits,I rate them as a up market KMart.

It's not only Nike. Most of the major names are really bad lately. I need to go watch a 1970s Wimbledon video just to cleanse myself.

When I first saw Berdych's shorts I thought he was wearing some light blue thing that was turning darker with his sweat. But then I realized that the "light blue shorts turning darker with sweat" was the look he was going for.

Shouldn't they outlaw florescent colored clothes? Seems like it would distract the opponent. Just wondering.

Berd's shorts are part of the 'short shorts' crew as well...so it's H&M and Nike that are encouraging this trend. I'm cool with this for the pros, as they typically have nice thighs...John Doe on the weekend tennis courts...not so much:eyepop

All I could think about was how tight and short the shorts were, didn't even see reflectors on the sides.I was thinking maybe they designed them so tight so he wouldn't feel so compulsive about...you know...doing his OCD thing, but he's still kind of doing it, so maybe it's a style thing.:s
I still prefer the medium length short for all the guys

Well I loved the era when player's like Edberg,who had great legs used to wear those short,shorts.Also my idol Borg,another player with great legs,looked dam wonderful in short,shots too

After seeing all these fluorescent colors, I have really learnt to value the Wimbledon dress code. :angel:

Can't stand Nike gear - Adidas all the way. Notable mention to some historic brands like Fred Perry, Tachini and Ellesse.
