Naomi Osaka

It's nice to see Naomi smiling. I also like that the flair she uses is just jazzy bike shorts. It's like a SURPRISE. I wonder if the other leg is hiked up because she's one of the people that tucks the balls up into her pants when she's not using them.

I also enjoy her choice of mask.

Apparently a ball girl squashed a moth here that had been flapping around? I enjoy that Naomi's face is like, "Nooooo," but, y'all, that moth wants to eat all your clothes and don't you forget it.

Let's pause here to talk about these outfits. They're colorful, but for my money, too distracting. I don't think the on-court staff necessarily needs to jump out, and of course, the large Polo logo is the loudest of all. And if you think it's big on the front...

... then peep the back. I am really so sick of how aggressively Ralph Lauren brands these things. It doesn't even look nice. LET IT GO. If you took off the logo, this might be okay for the front of their shirts, but the ACTUAL fronts seem too busy. It's okay to be simple here, Ralph. it's not about you, and whoever said to you, "No, it's cool, it can TOTALLY be about you," needs to sit down.

Sloane Stephens

Nike's logo here looks really posh and almost unrecognizable -- I had to squint for the swoosh. I like it. And I REALLY like the tennis dresses. This one is so good.

Madison Keys

And the marigold version is great, too. All the while identifiable as Nike if you really want to know, but not DOMINANTLY, obnoxiously Nike. AHEM, RALPH.

Aryna Sabalenka

This is ALSO so good. Nike sincerely did some strong work here.

Emma Raducanu

You can even swap in a yellow visor if you want...

Vika Azarenka

... or a yellow sweatband and shorts. This is not, admittedly, the best combo. I wish the shorts matched the top the way the dresses do.

They look like a diaper when they ride up.

Elina Svitolina

They make a lot more sense with this shirt. Damn, Nike really gave out a lot of options.

Donna Vekic

The line across the top here is silly, though.

Bianca Andreescu

It looks weird on the red version, too, though I like the skirt. Bianca may have regretted the pick, though, because she tied it up in the back...

... in a very makeshift way, which makes me think she didn't like the fit. No one else that I saw did this. Maybe they came a size too big? Or she just REALLY likes to ventilate her lower back.

Iga Swiatek

We DID see a couple more things with surprise back windows, so you never know.

Coco Gauff

I love the vibrance of Coco's New Balance kit.

I didn't mean to download this pic, but since I did, enjoy. Tennis action shots are so great.

Harriet Dart

Another one in this color family. I like it.

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova

I like the IDEA of this green outfit, and the stripes on the skirt, but it chops her up a little awkwardly I think.

Magda Linette

Magda is about to throw her racket here. Maybe she's annoyed that her tennis kit is really just a longish shirt and underpants.

Kamilla Rakhimova

Oooh, this is fun. The neon edging is super effective.

Barbora Krejcikova

Perfectly functional.

Jamie Loeb

Boy that's a high neck. Does that not feel stifling after a while?

Karolina Pliskova

That's better, but both outfits have those seams in unusual places. I guess the other one is MORE usual; it just looks like she's wearing a thin waist chain. This one going across her pelvis is wonkus.

Nao Hibino

This is so floaty!

Anna and Bee

Anna's gonna be a granna. (Both of these dresses are very nice, and I'm glad Anna can find joy even when Roger Federer is not in the building.)

Nick Kyrgios

The men's Nike kit is nice, as well. Kyrgios is also always good for an action shot.

Carlos Alcaraz

Seriously, have I ever liked Nike outfits this much?

Roberto Bautista Agut

Everything is as it should be here.

Diego Schwartzman

This ensemble makes him look like some dude who offers lessons at your local rec center. It feels thrown together.

Ricardas Berankis

I am not sure the sweatband is helping his hair as much as he might have hoped.

Djokovic

Yep, I like it. Boy, though, the commentators would NOT let go of whether the crowds owe Djoker more adulation. (They may have been booing during his match but they may ALSO have been yelling "RUNE" which was his opponent's name.) It was really annoying and almost scoldy? He's a good player, everyone knows this, surely he doesn't need validation from the crowds (he was clearly annoyed at them also). But the New York fans have never really loved Djokovic, that I can remember! This is not new! Also he's kind of a jerk! But mostly, fans also routinely cheer for the underdog, an upset, or just a longer match. I don't know. It was striking, the way the commentators of all the matches kept bringing it up.

Marco Trungelitti

WOW. I like a wild pattern, but that is a TRULY wild pattern.

Alex Molcan

He got the only Nike gear that's not on-theme, which makes me think he's wearing old stuff.

Yuichi Sugita

Oooh, I like this, with the matching blue shoes.

Vasek Pospisil

My mother was annoyed that the stripe here doesn't go all the way around the back. I am with her.

Gael Monfils

Gael's neon is very slick.

Fabio Fognini

I'm into all the asymmetrical designs.

Mikaael Ymer

"Holy SHIT that ball is coming at me fast."

Cristian Garin

"Yeah, you have fun with that, I'm just gonna sit here with my Hoover." (Yes, I know, it's blowing cold air.)

Dan Evans

"I'm British. Do you think anyone can tell?"

Denis Shapovalov

"Guys? Guys I lost my left arm."

Denis Shapovalov

"Guys, I think my left leg also flew off, is it behind me?"

Felix Auger-Aliassime

He looks ready to go to the beach in his board shorts after this.

Kei Nishikori

"Yes, hello. Like you, I do not know what Uniqlo is even doing here with my shorts color."

Andy Murray

Andy is wearing his own company's designs. I've grown very fond of him over the years, now that I've seen enough to know that he has a very very dry wit and seems -- from Twitter -- like a good egg. It makes me giggle at how mad all his faces seem.

Andy Murray

Here, he is going to take out his rage on the tennis ball.

"What is wrong with my shoes? Do I have to make everything myself?"

Andy Murray

"No seriously I don't get it, what IS wrong with them?"

"WELL WHATEVER, THEY'RE BULLSHIT."

But Andy has nothing on Alec Baldwin, who may have actual Resting Murder Face.

The US Open Has Some Fashion Flair Even Without Serena

Nike did itself proud this year.
