Aussie Media Buzzing About Nike Athletes' Australian Open Outfits

Rafael Nadal wore his sleeveless tank top, but was "beaten to the punch in creating the first fashion headlines on the opening day" of the Australian Open, according to James Matthey of NEWS.com.au. Nike "trotted some of its biggest stars out in a kit likely to help them stand out on the dance floor should they decide to hit the Melbourne nightclubs." Brit Kyle Edmund and World No. 3 Grigor Dimitrov from Bulgaria "wore pink and black outfits that drew attention from the media, the crowd and even Andy Murray’s mum." Judy Murray said that Edmund looked like he was "wearing something inspired by licorice allsorts." Edmund: "I don't think pink suits me. I think if you've got a better tan it might suit you." Dimitrov wore the same clothes and "took the commotion about his outfit in stride." Commentator John Fitzgerald said, "Some of them are going to know what color that is. We had a debate. I said a combination of peach. Geoff Masters thought it might be pink but he also thought salmon" (NEWS.com.au, 1/15).
