Fashion Takes Center Stage at Nitto ATP Finals
Tennis Fashion Takes Center Stage at Nitto ATP Finals
For the first time since 2018, all eight top-ranked players at the Nitto ATP Finals graced the iconic group photo in stylish attire. The fashion-forward move reflects the growing influence of major fashion houses in tennis, with players like Jannik Sinner (Gucci), Taylor Fritz (BOSS), Casper Ruud (Dior), and Carlos Alcaraz (Louis Vuitton) sporting their sponsors’ designs.
However, the eclectic fashion choices sparked mixed reactions among fans and fashion critics. Derek Guy, known as the “Menswear Guy” on Twitter, shared his thoughts on the outfits, highlighting the lack of ties and the use of soft tailoring. He suggested that a classic suit and tie would have presented a more polished and unified look.
Guy offered specific style advice for several players. He recommended a stiffer jacket for Sinner and Andrey Rublev, a textured fabric for Fritz’s gray sport coat, and a navy double-breasted jacket for Ruud. He also advised wearing a darker jacket with lighter pants, as seen in Alcaraz’s outfit.
Despite Guy’s critiques, fans defended their favorite players’ looks. Daniil Medvedev’s unconventional shoelace belt and Alexander Zverev’s pinstriped suit with a sleek bun were among the most discussed outfits.
The fashion choices at the Nitto ATP Finals underscore the growing intersection between tennis and fashion. As players become more closely associated with luxury brands, their on-court attire is becoming an extension of their personal style and a reflection of the sport’s evolving image.
