Still something I like about the Tacchini trackies. Retro.

Fila v Tacchini

This is a good choice for his next tourneys, which will be in the US. If he wanders off the court in it, at least he won't get shot by hunters. He could, however, be mistaken for an escaped prison inmate.

It's a girl! And the British odds-makers are not missing a chance to make a bet on the name. Can they please stop? Anyway, congratulations to Andy and Kim.

Congratulations to Andy and Kim and their families.

Have they announced the name of the little girl?

Fila v Tacchini

Someone should suggest Fila to start making famous Borg shirts again. Also Adidas should start remaking Lendl one. Tough luck for TS it is poorly managed so they didn't use No1e when he was with them.

I think Fila is owned by a Korean parent company these days, but yeah - Borg retro gear might go down well. I liked the Edberg tops from Adidas - I think he helped design them.

With the Tacchini/Nole deal - I'm not sure they had the capacity to keep up with him and there were financial issues too. If I remember correctly, he gave Tacchini a lot of chances to step up to the plate... but they struggled with production. Still an iconic name in tennis though.
