Here's to the 2013 Champions!

The 2014 tennis season is already underway with players playing a mix of exhibitions and live matches across the world.

Australian Open
Victoria Azarenka & Novak Djokovic

Roland Garros
 Serena Williams & Rafael Nadal

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.

Here are the ladies looks that aced the 2015 Australian Open. 

Across the board, the tournament featured a number of ladies in neon and electric colored designs which boldly contrasted with Melbourne's blue hard courts. 


2015 Australian Open Loves: 
1.Maria Sharapova 












Maria, the 2015 Australian Open Ladies Finalist, dazzled in red down under. Glad to see she's moved past her tunic phase. 
2. Madison Brengle





















Madison rocked Nike's raspberry outlier look all the way to the Quarter-Finals. 
3. Angelique Kerber







Angelique had a short stay in Melbourne, but her navy/orange Adidas kit impressed during her unexpected first-round loss. 
4. Aga Radwanska



Lotto seems to be succesfully following the "if it ain't broke" line of design with Aga. 
5. Martina Hingis
