    Wawrinka's outfit, WTF ?

    Wawrinka has been playing in a "highlighter" outfit: bright yellow shirt, bright yellow shoes, black shorts. I was wondering if any players have already complained about it. I would imagine this color combination should give Wawa some advantage by distracting his opps: the tennis ball being almost the same color as shirt/shoes. Moreover, black and yellow combo is known to command human attention on a subconscious level.

    doesn't seem that distracting?

    He usually wears bizzare bright clothes

    This is not the angle his opps are looking from. I think it's a ploy, probably more to annoy his opps but still a smart move by Wawa.

    I used to think that WTA players screamed just b/c they liked to scream, but they actually try to "hide" the spin of their shot: a lot of the info is lost if you cannot hear the sound of the ball hitting the strings. Of course some of them just like to scream.

    Many players have dressed like that in the past, Wawa has been wearing that outfit alot this year and some last.
