Strawberries and Cream?

It's about time I do another look at fashion in sport. (Click here to see the Olympic fashion run-down.) Let's turn our eyes to Ye Olde Londontown where the people speak awesomer and the tennis players wear all white...Wimbledon. Just the thought of it takes me back to the summer of 1991. (Before I have any comments about the players' faces, let me say there are never any good action shots of tennis players. They all look constipated.)



We can't begin our look at this treasured event without looking to the King of Wimby...Roger Federer. Now Roger is obviously sponsored by Nike. Looks like they pretty much just give him the leftovers from the warehouse floor. Kidding...kidding. I mean look at him! Such a class act and a great dresser. I mean he is wearing a vest! HE IS AWESOME!!!!


I'll also let you see this awesome photo shoot from a few years back. Looking great on and off the court and let's be honest, isn't that what life's all about? (hmmm....ok.)


Next we will check out the top American man in the Open, also the lone American man left at this point. (Come on Americans...start winning!) Andy Roddick is dreamy (Dreamy: attractive, good-looking. most likely used by your mom in 1965 to describe Elvis or by Haley)


Dinara Safina is ranked high in the Women's rankings and I'm a fan. However, I'm not a fan of her outfit or her new hair color. Yikes.



This is Daniela Hantuchova who looks great. But she's not my main interest. Check out the line judge. Those Brits do it right. This guy could go straight from the court to the pub for a pint. G'day! (Wait, I mean "Cheerio!")


Now I have never heard of Anne Keothavong (deal-breaker name) but I have heard of the rules at Wimbledon and I know she's not following them.


The Great Brit Hope...Andy Murray. Dapper. Berge and I saw him play in Memphis a few years back. This Scottish chap had a huge fro and mangled teeth. The fro is gone.


I always love Ana Ivanovic's choices of attire. She's classy and practical. Props!


Novak Djokovic is a character. I don't really like him but I think he usually looks pretty good on the court. He does, however, need to watch out for that ankle. Yowser.


I included this photo of Mikhail Youzhny not because of his attire but because of his leg. But before you feel sorry for him, watch this. He's felt pain before.


California Dreams called and they need you back on the set, Lleyton Hewitt.


It don't matter if you're (wearing) black or white...Jo-Wilfied Tsonga. J-Dub is really up and coming and his choice of clothing is up and coming as well. Well done, my good sir.


I don't know who Gisela Dulko is...I do however know that she is paying less than you are for her car insurance. And with all of that money she's saving she should buy a different headband.


My favorite player...Tommy Haas. Poor guy never looks good in photos taken on the court but DAAAAYYYYYMMMMMNNNN...you get my drift.


Am I right? (I'll forgive him the hat...he's German.)


Roger bids you "Cheers!"
