Wozniacki and Volynets Twin in Adidas Kits at BNP Paribas Open
Caroline Wozniacki’s return to the BNP Paribas Open has been a nostalgic affair, showcasing her vintage form on the court. However, one notable difference has been her attire, as the former world No. 1 has been sporting the same match kits as her opponents.
In her third-round match against American Katie Volynets, Wozniacki and her 11-year-younger opponent both wore Adidas’ black-and-white spring match kit. While Volynets’ outfit consisted of a top and skirt, Wozniacki’s was a dress.
Despite the similar attire, Wozniacki emphasized that they had not committed a fashion faux pas. “Katie was wearing a top and a bottom, a skirt and a top, she wasn’t wearing a dress, but it kind of looked like the same,” she explained.
Wozniacki praised the Adidas kit, saying, “I think it’s a really cool dress, so I’m going to try and rock it.”
Next up for Wozniacki is a fourth-round clash against another former world No. 1 and close friend, Angelique Kerber. Kerber has also been wearing the same Adidas kit, adding to the fashion symmetry on the court.
“I know that Angie is going to rock it too,” Wozniacki said. “We’ve played each other so much. We know each other extremely well. There’s going to be no secrets out there.”
The match promises to be a close contest, with both players familiar with each other’s game. “It’s really going to be about who is going to be better on the day. It can go either way,” Wozniacki said.
Wozniacki’s return to the BNP Paribas Open has been a reminder of her enduring talent and the enduring appeal of her style, both on and off the court.
