No weirdo zebra gear this time, but traditional all-white outfits for adidas players Angelique Kerber, Tomas Berdych and Alexander Zverev:
Angelique Kerber
Angelique Kerber and Carla Suarez Navarro practiced together on court Suzanne Lenglen this afternoon, they warmed up, and then played a set.
Angelique Kerber ended Laura Siegemund’s fairytale week and clinched her ninth career title, her second of the year. Qualifier Laura Siegemund, ranked 71, had beaten 3 top ten (Simona Halep, Roberta Vinci and Agnieszka Radwanska) en route to her first WTA Tour final. She led 4-2 in the final but Kerber recovered and won 10 games in a row. 6-4 6-0 for Angelique, who’ll be one of the big favorites for the Roland Garros title alongside Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka.
adidas and Y-3 have once again joined forces to create another standout collaboration ahead of Roland Garros 2016. The eye-catching collection is inspired by dazzle camouflage from the 40s and 50s.
Here’s the dress Australian champion Angelique Kerber will don on the parisian clay courts:
