The backhands the forehands, the serve speeds ... and the style. Amid the comprehensive analysis of Grand Slam reporting, there’s also a place for fashion. Here are some of our favourite looks of Australian Open 2024.
Mirra Andreeva: Hello, yellow
Competing like a veteran but bringing youthful energy, Mirra Andreeva had the perfect look for her second-round upset of Ons Jabeur. “I was really nervous, but I had a really cute outfit,” smiled the 16-year-old. “Probably I will continue playing with the yellow now.” Her rapidly growing fan base will be pleased.
Stefanos Tsitsipas: Shades of citrus
Cool, but somehow zesty. Stefanos Tsitsipas and Jessica Pegula are among stars dressed in shades of citrus. Caroline Wozniacki also wore the adidas Melbourne collection, featuring technology to help alleviate the heat of an Aussie summer.
Coco Gauff: A golden era
Looking every inch the superstar champion she’s become, Coco Gauff simply shines in the two-piece ensemble that’s unlike any other look at Melbourne Park this year.
Holger Rune: Bold approach
If you’re going to compete with as much daring as Holger Rune, you might as well look the part. Not everyone is a fan of the 20-year-old’s minimalist style, but few would dispute that he wears it well.
Caroline Garcia: Making waves
It wasn’t only Caroline Garcia’s tennis that was making waves in her first-round win over Naomi Osaka. While she dazzled with her flawless tennis, the Frenchwoman also dazzled in the dress that was labelled by some as the best of AO 2024.
Jiri Lehecka: Purple patch
Whether it’s the deep violet sported by Jiri Lehecka, Chris O’Connell and others or Daria Saville’s refreshing lilac, purple is a standout colour this summer. Combining calming blue and energetic red, it symbolises the playing strengths for some of those names.
Alycia Parks: Simply striking
All-white is typically a look that’s reserved for Wimbledon. Alycia Parks is a stylish departure on that tradition as she brings a striking look to Melbourne Park.
Andrey Rublev: Individual style
It’s not just Andrey Rublev’s crafty tennis that sets him apart from the pack. The world No.5 has sported his own “Rublo” range for the past year – and his Australian Open 2024 kit is a standout.
Danielle Collins:
Ruffling tradition It’s not often we see a deviation from traditional tennis kits, so Danielle Collin’s AO 2024 look deserves a mention. Whether it’s the colour, the cut or the frilly details, you can’t argue with the American’s conviction.
Max Purcell / Thanasi Kokkinakis: Surfie style
How very Aussie of two local favourites, Max Purcell and Thanasi Kokkinakis. When they’re finished at the tennis, their colourful surfie style could double as beach wear too.
Katie Boulter: Thanks, mates
You know you’ve made it in pro tennis when your practice kits are as striking as your playing ones. A shout-out at AO 2024 to stars including Katie Boulter, Jannik Sinner and Victoria Azarenka, who are dressed especially for their Aussie setting.
Tomas Mechac: In Czech
Sporting the colours of his native Czech Republic, Tomas Mechac is showcasing both flashy tennis and some smooth style in the best Grand Slam performance of his career. He’ll aim to keep it going as the last Czech remaining in the men’s singles draw.
