I miss the days of his sleeveless shirts. And I will miss these days of his neon. Yes, and also his tennis.
Coco Gauff

I'm not feeling Coco's New Balance kit here -- that skirts seems muddy.
Naomi Osaka

Her dress is super fun; her potential groin strain, maybe less so.
Djokovic

Who needs ligaments anyway!!!! Or, kneeds, as it were.
Denis Shapovalov
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 27: Denis Shapovalov of Canada celebrates his match victory against Luca Van Assche of France in the Men's Singles first round match on Day Two of the 2024 French Open at Roland Garros on May 27, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Mateo Villalba/Getty Images)
Also good to see Shapo out there, and in red himself.
Erika Andreeva

The rest of her outfit is not surprising; I chose this picture because she's got the matching wristband on, and that really pushes this over into GREAT territory for me.
Jannik Sinner
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 27: Jannik Sinner of Italy returns a ball against Christopher Eubanks of United States in the Men's Singles first round match on Day Two of the 2024 French Open at Roland Garros on May 27, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Tnani Badreddine/DeFodi Images via Getty Images)

As ever, I am torn because I want him to make a deep run, but I also like it when he shows up on TV in his glasses. The heart, it tugs.
Viktoriya Tomova

I actually really like this, too. The contrasting colors are so effective.
Ben Shelton

I can't tell if that's fun, or just looks like a laundry bleed accident.
Iga Swiatek
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 27: Iga Swiatek of Poland in action against Leolia Jeanjean of France in the first round on Day 2 of the French Open at Roland Garros on May 27, 2024 (Photo by Robert Prange/Getty Images)
Iga's version is maybe a tiny bit more... organized-looking?
Casper Ruud

Inspired by the clay itself!

Part two! I don't mind this, either. I'm so AGREEABLE today.
Victoria Azarenka

Vika always embraces the leggings -- she's been at the fore, lately, of making sure the female players' right to wear them is asserted. It sucks that when Serena Williams did it, and for a major medical reason, the French scolded her for it. Sigh.
Qinwen Zhang
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 28: Qinwen Zheng of China reacts against Alize Cornet of France in the Women's Singles first round match on Day Three of the 2024 French Open at Roland Garros on May 28, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Daniel Kopatsch/Getty Images)

Tatjana Maria

And this one...

And this one, although is that a weird skirt flap or is hers just caught in her undies? Or... both? It might be both.
Carlos Alcaraz
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 26: Carlos Alcaraz of Spain returns a ball against Jeffrey John Wolf of the United States in the Men's Singles first round match on Day One of the 2024 French Open at Roland Garros on May 26, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Tnani Badreddine/DeFodi Images via Getty Images)
It occurs to me that Nike is shoving MICHIGAN COLORS at us and now I don't know how to feel.
Elina Svitolina
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 27: Elina Svitolina of Ukraine in action against Karolina Pliskova of Czech Republic in the Women's Singles first round match on Day Two of the 2024 French Open at Roland Garros on May 27, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Daniel Kopatsch/Getty Images)
The black and yellow is MUCH better. Steelers all the way.
Stefanos Tsitsipas
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 27: Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece during his first round match against Marton Fucsovics of Hungary on day 2 of the 2024 French Open, Roland-Garros 2024, Grand Slam tennis tournament at Roland Garros stadium on May 27, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Jean Catuffe/Getty Images)
Knees, shmees! (This version of the kit is VERY effective.)
Felix Auger-Aliassime

Felix went with just the yellow accessories. He understands a pop of color.
Alexander Zverev
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 27: Alexander Zverev of Germany during his first round match against Rafael Nadal of Spain on day 2 of the 2024 French Open, Roland-Garros 2024, Grand Slam tennis tournament at Roland Garros stadium on May 27, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Jean Catuffe/Getty Images)
This is fine and my affection for him is smaller even than the gap between his forefinger and thumb.
Maria Sakkari
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 27: Maria Sakkari of Greece plays a forehand against Varvara Gracheva of France in the Women's Singles first round match on Day Two of the 2024 French Open at Roland Garros on May 27, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Clive Brunskill/Getty Images)
The best shoulders in the business. (I do not think she'd mind me saying that. You don't have shoulders like that without putting in the hours.)
Stan Wawrinka
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 26: Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland plays a backhand shot against Andy Murray of Great Britain during the Men's Singles First Round match on Day One of the 2024 French Open at Roland Garros on May 26, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Tnani Badreddine/DeFodi Images via Getty Images)
Stan's neon is very tennis-coded, appropriately. He knocked out Andy Murray. One old vet takes down another. Their embrace and chat at the net was really long and seemingly very affectionate and sincere. I don't think either relished the idea of defeating the other.
Alex de Minaur
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 28.

Ankles, schmankles.
Taro Daniel

This seems better for her? Also she won her first round, I believe; I'd LOVE to see her get far again. That year she and Emma Raducanu tore up the US Open was so thrilling.
Bianca Andreescu
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 27: Bianca Andreescu of Canada in action against Sara Sorribes Tormo of Spain in the Women's Singles first round match on Day 2 of the French Open at Roland Garros on May 27, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Robert Prange/Getty Images)
And I'm so glad to see Bibi back! She won, too. I like the shorts and the funky swirl shirt.
Alize Cornet
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 28: Alize Cornet of France during her retirement ceremony after losing to Qinwen Zheng of China in the Women's Singles first round match on Day Three of the 2024 French Open at Roland Garros on May 28, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Quality Sport Images/Getty Images)
Alize lost, and retired; I'm very sad she won't be out there anymore because her on-court interviews were often very funny and she had sneaky upset capability.
Barbora Krejcikova
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 26: Barbora Krejcikova of Czech Republic in action against Viktorija Golubic of Switzerland in the Women's Singles first round match on Day One of the 2024 French Open at Roland Garros on May 26, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Daniel Kopatsch/Getty Images)

This is intriguing. Bright, poppy. But... I might have gone with blue hotpants under it. I just... I would have.
Grigor Dimitrov
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 26: Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria plays a forehand against Aleksandar Kovacevic of United States in the Men's Singles first round match on Day One of the 2024 French Open at Roland Garros on May 26, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Clive Mason/Getty Images)
I enjoy the blue panels in Grigor's green shirt. This is nice.
Marta Kostyuk
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 26: Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine plays a forehand against Laura Pigossi of Brazil in the Women's Singles first round match on Day One of the 2024 French Open at Roland Garros on May 26, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Clive Brunskill/Getty Images)
And I will always cape for deep green.
Kei Nishikori

This is somehow better than the Uniqlo stuff they custom made for freaking Federer.
Ons Jabeur
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 27: Ons Jabeur of Tunisia returns a ball against Sachia Vickery of United States in the Women's Singles first round match on Day Two of the 2024 French Open at Roland Garros on May 27, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Tnani Badreddine/DeFodi Images via Getty Images)

He looks like he's in a tennis-themed boy band video.
Daniel Evans

Dan is another one who needs coordinating shoes.
Arantxa Rus

Lightning AND multicolored stripes? SOLD. I would buy that. Maybe I WILL.
Taylor Fritz

BOSS did this to him? It's so DRAB. It's the workwear basics of tennis gear.
Marton Fuchsovics

Okay, does the grey work, or am I just hypnotized by his quads?
Dominik Koepfer

I call this the Sparkly Dandruff collection.
Frances Tiafoe
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 27: Frances Tiafoe of United States celebrates a point against Mattia Bellucci of Italy plays in the Men's Singles first round match on Day Two of the 2024 French Open at Roland Garros on May 27, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Mateo Villalba/Getty Images)
Big Foe has a lot more to worry about this season than his outfits. HIs ranking is down to 26, he needed a five-setter to advance, and he's running up against Shapo. I think he can beat Denis, but the draw is gonna be WORK.
Gael Monfils
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 27: Gael Monfils of France plays a forehand against Thiago Seyboth Wild of Brazil in the Men's Singles first round match on Day Two of the 2024 French Open at Roland Garros on May 27, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Clive Mason/Getty Images)
I always assume the really pale ensembles will get TRASHED by the clay dust.
Cameron Norrie

It feels wrong that the best part of Andy's outfit is the Roland Garros towel.
