For the most part, it is the ladies that make the fashion statements on the tennis courts... but on the first "real" day of the 2006 Wimbledon tournament... it was the guys that caught my eye.
Now, Roger Federer is always pretty classy. But...

This is taken it a bit too far. I was kinda okay with the golden sneakers of a last year (or the year before that?), but the cream-colored blazer that Nike made for the 3-time defending champion is bordering on the dorky... I guess it fits the whole All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club stodgy, snooty, pompous, elitist... ok, you get the point... stick-up-your-butt attitude... but I guess it comes in handy for schmancy post-match dinners where it's "jacket required."
Now "kid stuff" usually makes my eyes rollback into my head, but this one even warmed my heart...

Andre Agassi's necklace was a Father's Day gift from his 4 1/2 year old son Jaden Gil. If your eyesight is as bad as mine, the homemade block necklace reads "Daddy Rocks." With a gift like that, I guess it is easy to determine at least one reason Agassi announced he will be retiring following this year's U.S. Open.

I agree, the jacket does nothing for me.
About your BDay studs, I would soooooo LOVE to have Vern come decorate my house!!!
