2024 US Open - Day 2

The headphones with the matching bows are just the best crowning touch here. So, Naomi walked out in this...

... and then removed the overskirt. Seeing it just sitting there on the chairs is so funny to me. I

Here is what she actually played in, and as you can see, the sneakers ALSO have bows. I also think Naomi, as evidenced by her tears, has been having a hard time getting it all done, and having a special kit like this gave her a little spark of happiness and confidence in a time that's been tough for her.

She wore this version to play Karolina Muchova, and it didn't bless her with a win, but she really DID look better out there I think? Give yourself some grace, Naomi!

Shoe closeups are important. Look how CUTE these are.

Jessica Pegula

As I type this, I am watching her in the semifinal against Karolina Muchova, which has been thrilling. But this little warmup jacket is RIDICULOUS. It's giving her Regina George cutout pits.

Elina Svitolina

"I KNOW, IT LOOKS SO SILLY, WHAT ARE WE DOING." (I'm sure functionally, it's like... maybe some arm compression while leaving the armpits free to get air and drip sweat? But lordy.)

Ashlyn Krueger

It's so much better without the sleeves.

Jessica Pegula

I just enjoy this picture. It makes her look like one of those anglerfish who hang a light in front of their jaws to attract prey.

Iga Swiatek

It was SO HOT during the early rounds of the Open; you can see here how Iga was just soaked. I like the colors, though. It's very My Little Pony.

Iga

She often ended up changing into the white version mid-match.

Coco Gauff

The neon here was the recurring theme on Coco...

2024 US Open - Day 3

... and they tweaked the base color. The yellow here looks darker but that MIGHT just be the photo lighting? Anyway, same basic idea, but with a deep blue. I like it.

Emma Navarro

WHAT a tournament Emma had, making it to the semis before running up against Aryna Sabalenka's groundstrokes. I am charmed by this preppy little number.

Shelby Rogers

It's cute in blue, too! Shelby retired after this tournament, as did Danielle Collins, whose picture I don't have. We lost two veterans just as Navarro and Pegula were surging and 16-year-old Iva Jokic arrived. Nature abhors a vacuum, etc.

Elena Rybakina

I sort of like this, and yet also think it looks like a weird grape juice spill.

Sloane Stephens

She often comes out in totally different clors match-to-match, but unfortunately we didn't see enough of her to know this time.

Erika Andreeva

I would've made the skirt blue. Just because, like, we KNOW you have the blue, Novak wears it all the time.

Aryna Sabalenka

You KNOW I am here for hot pink. And I saw her in a pink version - she was wearing it in the shot of her with a mini-me fan. I'm sort of into this one, though.

Andrey Rublev

I'm never mad at these colors. CERTAINLY not anywhere NEAR as mad as he gets at himself.

Madison Keys

I was sorry to see Keys go out early-ish, but at least she got a really good green shade here. Also, I think everyone believed her injury was a lot worse and would keep her out, so way to rehab, Maddie.

Vika Azarenka

Loving all the hot colors, honestly. This is the intelligent commentary you're getting today.

Emma Raducanu

Emma even got the hit of orange on her shoes.

Bianca Andreescu

Bad luck to Bianca that she drew Jasmine Paolini in round one. Also Nike kept it pretty simple here with everyone who isn't Osaka, and honestly, that's probably smart even if I want something wacky.

Qinwen Zheng

She and Vika rocked the separates. I just complimented all the pink and orange but I really do like this shade too. I'm so easy to please today.

Sofia Kenin

SO MUCH green!

Jasmine Paolini

This is how I feel about her colors, actually. I love this photo.

Petra Martic

But NOW WE'RE COOKING. Thank you, Petra. This reminds me of a Swatch face I had int he 80s, except it was black and neon green. Also, it was my mom's, and I purloined it at every opportunity because a) I liked it better than mine, and b) sometimes WE WORE TWO AT ONCE. We were SO COOL.

Leylah Fernandez

She and Emma have never been quite the same since the year they faced off in the Open final, but the pleated skirt is great.

Elise Mertens

This is like... a reddish Minecraft shirt.

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova

This kinda looks like she threw together some separates and called it a day.

Donna Vekic

This is giving similar vibes, but with the opposite colors.

Ekaterina Alexandrova

Technically it's cheating to have a partner who's a ghost.

Aliaksandra Sasnovich

I support the pants, BUT IN THAT WEATHER? WOW. It was so hot; I've rarely seen so much sweat on every single tennis court.

Jessika Ponchet

They should make her that shirt but in a whole dress.

Marta Kostyuk

I like the little zip top here.

Nicolas Jarry

Aw, Wilson, you couldn't make him a matching shirt?!?

Arantxa Rus

I love that her sponsor has a lightning bolt for a logo. I was going to say that it's "so striking," and then realized that's a horrible pun. OR A BRILLIANT ONE.

Francis Tiafoe

BIG FOE!!!! I'm sort of surprised his sweatbands don't coordinate. Not ANGRY about it, obviously. But surprised.

Ben Shelton

He sweat through this as much as Iga did, although perhaps not in this specific shot.

Brandon Nakashima

This evokes the Yankees' pinstripes.

Reilly Opelka

How did he play in this HEAT with that FULL BEARD???? It would be a facial swamp.

Alex de Minaur

Rrowr!

Carlos Alcaraz

All three mens' Olympic medalists bowed out early. Alcaraz probably surprised me the most there, but he'd collected some small injuries and I also think he was REALLY gutted to lose the gold to Djokovic and he didn't look quite the same after that.

Fabio Fognini

"Am I giving ENOUGH bleach-blond Van Damme?!?"

Casper Ruud

RED SOCKS. Don't mind if I do.

Casper Ruud

Apparently I got both of his outfits. GOOD FOR ME.

Jack Draper

Are you telling me Nike made all those shoes with these colors on them for the women, but Jack didn't get any? Come on now. FASHION FIRST EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!

Nuno Borges

This graffiti shirt was an excellent addition.

Novak Djokovic

Sorry not sorry, sir. Don't dislike the blocky shirt, but am thrilled you went out (barely) swinging to Popyrin.

Alexei Popyrin

This point was epic. He went so hard with the rejoicing that Aryna Sabalenka, who was waiting for the court inside, was imitating him (nicely -- she seemed to think it was great).

Gabriel Diallo (r) and Tommy Paul

Tommy's shirt looks like it has a photograph silkscreened onto it, or something. But I can't tell what OF. A... forest? With lampposts?

Taylor Fritz

He HAS been the boss!

Daniil Medvedev

I LOVE that the angle of this photo makes it look like he is somehow tripping over the net.

Jannik Sinner

Boring hue.

Marta Kostyuk

I FEEL THIS. Kevin and I played tennis yesterday in the morning heat, which was still basically the 90s, and we were DISGUSTING.

Constant Lestienne

I Googled to make sure he wasn't injured, and he basically ran this exact photo on his own Instagram with the caption, "This is why you should be careful with the chicken in ." We POISONED HIM!!!! Not very hospitable of us.

Naomi Osaka's Frills and Furbelows Were The Most Fun U.S. Open Fashion

With three days left that surely will not change.
