Tennis Update: March 14, 2013

Federer and Nadal will play in a few minutes at the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells, CA! So excited, you don't even know. It's been so long. Their rivalry is like fucking legendary. Like I don't even care who wins, I just want their match to be really long and exciting. It's only a quarterfinal match, but it's probably going to be more popular than the finals since soooo many people were looking forward to this. It's not that they were #1 and #2 for forever, it's more their playing styles that clash so well together. Federer is elegant and smooth, while Nadal is gritty and rough. When Federer goes on court, he has his blazer on and his fancy Rolex watch peeking out under the sleeve. Nadal has his blazing Nike outfit and runs out intensely. These two are the best of their styles and when they come together and compete, it's like magic. Plus they have great sportsmanship and everyone should learn from their attitudes on court.

Well here's Nadal's outfit. It's like his regular really bright colors. I think it reflects his culture; he's Spanish and I've found that there are a lot of bright colors that come with that country. I like it. His shoes are white and accented gray and neon yellow, so everything works. His bicep looks uncomfortable, but he's playing well, so I guess he's fine. It's a very Nadal-esque outfit. 

Federer here is going all USA style with his red, white and blue. That's nice of him, honoring the country hosting this tournament. As usual, he goes with bold, pretty primary colors. That's what works for him, so it's fine. See, Nike even gives him a collar on his shirt to play on his "elegant" style while Nadal gets the t-shirt fit and stuff. You can tell Nike knows what they're doing. Anyway, I really don't think this would look good on anyone else playing tennis. It's hard to pull of a polo while sweating and running around. So yay.
