The gentlemen, as usual, have less room for improvisation.
After last year's blingey kit, His Royal Goatness promised that this year's kit would follow the theme: "Less is More". For his warm up kit, he showed up in a mock turtleneck.
And then he narrowly avoided the curse of the tuxedo in his 1st round comeback against Falla.
Kudos to Nike for coming up with a kit that won't make a club player feel like a total wannabee (just a partial one).
Grade: A
The Mallorcan Matador usually tones down his florid kits for SW19. The only hint of color is the hot pink for the swoosh and the neck line. Surely the all-white rules of the AEC are more permissive, no?
Grade: B+
ARod has returned to the tri-colored polo in which he won Miami
While Lacoste is a fairly small fish compared to Nike and Adidas, it's a shame that with its heritage, it can't do more.
Grade: B+
Big Berd's swan-like polo is way too basic. His checkered Back Spin polo (white w/flat pewter) from Roland Garros would have worked better.
Grade: B-
The Djoker cannot be serious with his Sergio Tacchini kit with green piping. I don't think it fits his personality. ST has a white polo with a bold red stripe across that would have bought back the ghost of JMac.
Grade: B+
Despite his new Dunlop contract, Play Station still looks like he rolled out of bed, and has painted his old Prince sticks.
Grade: C
Le Monf's skin is the only color or texture in this sleveless KSwiss kit.
Grade: B-
For his compatriot Ali, why doesn't Adidas prohibit color photos of their player?
Grade: B-
Adidas chooses to obfuscate the pink line under the arms of Britain's hopes for a Slam winner. I'm not sure whether Muzz's pressers bore me more than his kit.
Grade: B-
