Kirilenko, out!
Unlike the No. 1 ranking… Thanks to Chris for tipping us off about Caro Wozniacki being the new face of the adidas by Stella McCartney line. I guess the folks in Portland finally realized that while Maria Kirilenko has the best face/bod combo to show off the British designer’s amazing pieces, the Russian’s game (and thus the fashion show that should come with it) has relegated Stella’s designs to the outer courts (and early rounds) of most tournaments.
Finally, another Ana dress we love!
We’d be happy, too: Oh, a smile and a sigh of relief for Serbian Ana Ivanovic, who’s languished in (top) tennis purgatory since that French Open title win in 2008. The 13th seed saved two match points to beat Lucie Hradecka 5-7, 6-2, 8-6 and looked faaaaaaabulous in her adidas whites.
Maria Kirilenko is pretty in purple part II
I have been talking things over with the Chief Editor of TennisGrandstand Manfred Wenas. He told me that a lot of you people loved the “Maria Kirilenko is pretty in purple” post he posted many many moons ago. He also informed me of the fact that the photos of his post don’t work properly anymore and that he couldn’t find the hi res images anymore on the net. So I went out and searched on every corner of the internet and found them again.
fashion focus: mccartney’s s/s ‘09 wedding
Maria Kirilenko had a super-brief stint at this year’s Australian Open; as the 27th seed, she bowed out to Italian Sara Errani 6-0, 6-4.
Still, it gave us a look into the spring/summer 2009 adidas by Stella McCartney collection, a marriage of the designer’s thematic inspiration (Edwardian petticoats) with looks from her archive, plus an infusion of the color du saison.
It’s a wrap: Adidas’ women’s competition line, s/s ‘09
Not a surprise, but the spring/summer 2009 adidas women’s competition line keeps low-key, staying with that bumblebee shade that we’ve been trying to expunge from the tennis palette for two years (Yonex is keeping adidas company during this sit-in).
Fashion Focus: Ana’s Adilibria Aussie Attire
Adidas’s customary “sneak peek” into the early 2009 wardrobe of Ana Ivanovic left us a little disappointed. The violet adilibria dress suffers the same fate as her other dresses from 2008; they look good on the mannequin but fail to maintain elegance in action (see: the bubble skirt, the petal skirt). The diagonal detail across the bust looks messy.

Fashion Focus: Adidas by Stella McCartney, f/w ‘08
The fall/winter ‘08 adidas by Stella McCartney line dropped right before the U.S. Open this year, and we got a chance to see the merch up close while at the company’s performance store in SoHo (where we also got fitted for some custom Barricades).

U.S. Open ‘08 preview: Ana Ivanovic’s dress?
Ana Ivanovic withdrew from the Olympics with an injured right thumb sustained during play in Montreal the week prior. While her participation at the U.S. Open might be in doubt,
