Wimbledon Fashion!

No seriously, ESPN has been breathlessly covering Wimbledon fashion this year.



This used to be the domain of the women players, until good old Roger Federer decided to take matters into his own hands with his blazer a few years ago (and continued that trend at the other Grand Slams, one elegantly sartorial statement after another) and instantly became a fashion icon (he is now fast friends with Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief at Vogue), something the hum-drum Tiger Woods has not managed to do (surprisingly enough the Nike Swoosh does not qualify as a fashion statement).

Now the women have followed suit (umm, no pun intended).

There's Serena Williams with her trench coat (very The Avengers Emma Peel cool!):



There's Maria Sharapova with her tuxedo top and boy shorts (I'm not a fan):



And then, of course, is the great Roger Federer with his cardigan (valued at a cool US$ 520):



Top that Tiger!
