Glam Spin Style Court: WTA Championships 2013

The top ranked women broke out their best stylish duds for the Player Party at the WTA Championships 2013 in Istanbul, Turkey.

 Can you imagine going from town to town all over the world for about 40 weeks of the year and getting dressed up for a random party with corporate sponsors? Welcome to the life of a WTA player.

 Screaming Winners:

 Serena Williams looks amazing in red. Hope her Nike kit for the tournament is in a similar shade. Also, her latest curly blond-highlighted weave looks really good.

 Aga Radwanska looks fantastic from head to toe in a deep purple. She keeps it classy in the sheer sleeves and the shoes are to die for!

 Li Na looks good from head to mid-calf...... Get thee some self-tanner with those pale feet! Otherwise, I appreciate the effort and actually admire that Na barely looks recognizable.



















Ace:
Honorable mentions go to Petra Kvitova (wow, she's wearing flats in the pic and is the tallest in the photo) and Jelena Jankovic.

 Code Violation:
Vika, Sara, Angelique.....ummm.....good luck at the tournament.

 Here are the top 8 ladies:

US Open 2018: Welcome Back & New Logo

Well...it's been 2 years hasn't it. That's what heading to grad school will do to a person. Sometimes the axiom, 'the more things change, the more they stay the same,' rings true. But sometimes, as with the case of the US Open's new logo, one steps away, and comes to find that things have gone completely awry.



Is this Arial font? Are these letters lower case? Really, in this political climate, lower case US? Is lower case an affront to becoming great again?

Also, is this logo actually in Arial Italics?

According to the USTA, "the logo created by renowned graphic design firm Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv, is a streamlined and modernized version of the tournament’s iconic flaming ball logo, which was first introduced in 1997."

US Open 2018: Rafael Nadal in Practice to Defend Open Chamionship Title

Rafael Nadal took an hour to work on his forehands in the new Louis Armstrong stadium at the US Open, today. 



Accompanied by his champion coach, Carlos Moya, Rafa spent the session working on down-the-line forehands and serves.

I suppose this is one of the benefits of having a Grand Slam winning coach.
