Top 10 most controversial US Open outfits Not only the Williams sisters above the absolute protagonists, but there are also the adidas outfits and a gem by Fognini
If there's any positive aspect for the end of the summer, the beginning of the last seasonal Slam is undoubtedly one of them. We are talking about the US Open, usually scheduled between August and September on the American hard court of Flushing Meadows, in the green of New York's Queens. Considered the most unpredictable tournament of the four Majors (seven different winners in the last ten editions), has just begun under a climate so incredibly hot that has already forced many retirements but for Italians is already to be considered unforgettable, because of the 8 players in the men's draw, a record.
The tournament, but above all its particular atmosphere, also inspired David Foster Wallace who dedicated one of the two chapters of his 'Tennis as a religious experience': something totally different from the other three Gland Slam events that maintains a fascination undeniable, which has managed to survive even the change of the surface. Until 1978, in fact, it was played on grass and then on clay, before changing the fields by applying the famous DecoTurf. The edition number 138 has been open for a few hours and before to focus in the pure competition it's time to take a look at the strangest and singular outfits seen in action: trying to forget the controversy about Serena Williams' look (her catsuit will be banned by the next Roland Garros, and Nike is now rushed to defend her by dedicating a maxi poster in the Manhattan centre) here, unlike Wimbledon, there is no particular dressing code to be respected and so it's common to stumble across colorful and imaginative kits, which make the tournament even more fascinating.
Andre Agassi, 1990
If we are talking about the craziest outfits of the American tournament, could not mention 'The Kid'? Here during the 1990 edition when he reached the final before losing against his eternal rival, Pete Sampras. In his outfit signed by Nike the main color is yellow: we find it on the sleeves of his slightly oversized shirt and under the shorts to make a pendant with his thick hair.
