Coco Gauff

I'm excited for Coco's semifinal. (She and her doubles partner Jessica Pegula also made the doubles quarterfinals, but Pegula has her singles quarterfinal like two hours before, so...?!?!?). Anyway, I like Coco's top. I don't know how I feel about the filmy skirt part.

At first I thought maybe it would work better if the shorts had been the same color as the top, but then I decided it would make the overlay look sillier. (Also, Coco's first name is Cori, and Informative Caption INSISTS on calling her Cori Gauff, except for one passive-aggressive day in the middle when it wrote Cori "Coco" Gauff before going back to Cori. It's not WRONG, but she plays as Coco, so it just made me laugh. Informative Caption has FEELINGS about what it should say.)

Jelena Ostapenko

This outfit is the whole reason I am doing this post, basically. I forgot about it for a minute and then caught a little of this match and yelped aloud and wrote down her name. It is BONKS and I'm so happy about it. I love houndstooth, I love pink, I love stripes, and I NEVER expected to see them on a tennis court. The shoulder ruffles are kind of what push this into Wackytown.

This is the face I made during the entire second set of Nadal-Djokovic.

Amanda Anisimova

Absolutely not a fan of this color scheme.

Sloane Stephens

Sloane only has a little bit of the yellow as an accent, and it's better. But the little rib vent is so weird on this design.

Emma Raducanu

Honestly, it ends up looking more like a snag than a choice. (I like the mint and grey the best so far.)

Qinwen Zheng

I want to pause to acknowledge her for the fact that she took the first set off No. 1 Iga Swiatek, then lost the match after getting hit with horrible menstrual cramps. That's the first time in my memory that anyone has been so frank about that, and the fact that, yes, they CAN be super debilitating no matter what you do.

Simona Halep

And! Simona lost to Qinwen Zheng in the second round, and later admitted she had a panic attack during the match. People are really going through it right now, and I sincerely applaud her for talking about it, because it can't be easy to open yourself up to that. As our next slide subject well knows.

Naomi Osaka

It's good to see Naomi back. And she got some really fun colors, which tracks, as she's their highest-profile athlete right now. But the brighter they are, the more you can see what a goofy assemblage of blobs the pattern is.

Paula Badosa

These are probably the colors I would pick if it were me, and yet also, what a random-ass mosaic.

Paula Badosa

Wait, there's a random shoulder-blade vent?!?

Shelby Rogers

I'm into the matching shoes with the orange laces.

Maria Sakkari

Adidas is doing this funky hieroglyph-looking situation, although I really do not like a) the sneakers with it, and b) the sneakers, period. Adidas has such a recognizable logo, and it is not that massive one right there.

Garbine Muguruza

"I KNOW, RIGHT? WHAT IS THE DEAL, ADIDAS."

A moment of homage to her arms.

Aliaksandra Sasnovich

You don't see this deep royal purple that often. I LOVE it.

Aliaksandra Sasnovich

The pink is nice, too.

Iga Swiatek

Iga is the 21-year old phenom whose 32-match win streak is approaching Serena's record of 34. I did not see that coming! Also, I look at these photos and think it's a miracle that she still has working ankles.

Barbara Krejcikova

This looks watercolored. I like.

Linda Noskova

I like the pink and green better than I expected to.

Irina-Camelia Begu

Her outfit is very cute. Unfortunately for her, she made Sportscenter because she chucked her racket angrily, and did it so hard that the racket BOUNCED and flew into the stands, making a child cry out of fear (thankfully it didn't hit him, or anyone). Begu was issued a code violation and some thought she should have been disqualified. I am sure she felt terrible -- she apologized and essentially said she was shocked it bounced like that.

Diane Parry

This outfit started well and just ran out of steam.

Ons Jabeur

She has the blues. But in a good way.

Alizé Cornet

This is a slicker version though.

Martina Trevisan

She just beat the delightful Leylah-Annie Fernandez and is in the semis, so congrats to her. With internationally beloved record-setter Roger Federer winding down (assuming he hasn't already played his last), Switzerland must be excited to have another player on the come-up. I'm into her orange kit.

Kaia Kanepi

This feels like she glued on rhinestones in her hotel room.

Alison Van Uytvanck

I am not sure Fila was trying that hard here.

I'm not loving the dull, dirty-looking grey on this. It's SO samey and it needs a pop of other color to come alive.

Carlos Alcaraz

See? Add a little more to it and it starts to work better.

Marin Cilic

I'm glad Cilic got a big win (against Medvedev). Bring back the thunder, Marin. Also I can't tell if his shorts are white, or light pink, or a result of things bleeding in the laundry, or what.

Nadal

He is reliably bright.

Djoker

This looks like he got his hands dirty and wiped them across his chest.

Cristian Garin

Pin stripes! I can dig it.

Woody Harrelson

Woody did NOT see those coming.

Diego Schwartzman

Come on, Fila, at least go all the way and give him some shoes that work with this.

Reilly Opelka

He is JUST SO TALL.

Daniil Medvedev

I like his shirt, and I love his socks, but I don't think they work together. Daniil also seems to be whining a lot about the fans not liking him enough, and I am alllllll the way over these grown men thinking they're entitled to fan support.

Cameron Norrie

Ooh, this is good though.

David Goffin

"Hi. I'm Tennis Steve Zahn."

Corentin Moutet

"I wonder if I'm Tennis Young Bradley Cooper."

Jordan Thompson

"And I am Tennis Borat."

Corentin Moutet

Corentin Moutet also had an outfit by Garanimals.

Stefanos Tsitsipas

He got the white version of this pattern. I actually enjoy this whole line.

Felix Auger-Aliassime

And he got the other. He ran into Nadal in a great five-setter, and I feel for him. I would love to see him break through, but right now I'm really jonesing for another Nadal run for as long as we can have them.

Jo-Wilifried Tsonga

And Jo-Willie lost, and then retired, right there on his home soil. The emotion on his face! He will be missed.

It must have been a little awkward, though, because they had a whole ceremony, which they must've had ready the whole time to deploy whenever they needed it. Look at the shirts! And his little noodles! Fare thee well, Tsonga.
