Fault: For everything that’s going wrong for Rafael Nadal right now, his style game should not be it. And yet this yawner of a look from Nike made his 2015 London campaign all the more forgettable. He’s a two-time champ. This should not be.

Ace: The sheer shoulders and knee-high socks on Bethanie Mattek-Sands were a welcome respite from the fashion doldrums at SW19.

Who are your own style winners and losers at this year’s Championships?
— Garbiñe MuguruzaBBVA (@GMuguruzaBBVA) July 4, 2024
Ace: Serena Williams‘ subtle animal print, which she similarly rocked at the 2014 U.S. Open and 2015 French Open, arrived here with a lace-y effect. Crafty illusion, Nike. Between that and the quietly daring look overall, this is the Spin’s Best Dressed winner among the ladies.
The lily-white fashion edict at the All England Club leaves a lot of on-court attire cramped for originality and uniqueness. Even so, some looks among the men’s and women’s contenders do stick out from the herd, for better and worse. Here, the Daily Spin’s annual roundup of Wimbledon style points.
“It’s hard to be creative at Wimbledon,” says famous fashionista Bethanie Mattek-Sands. “I didn’t even get married in white.”

Story goes - @Venuseswilliams at only 15 dreamed of being a #Wimbledon champion. In 2000 her dream came true! pic.twitter.com/SxsqDxJLZF
Ace: Victoria Azarenka‘s Nike attire just looks like one of the most comfortable things a player could wear.
— ScoopWhoop (@ScoopWhoop) July 5, 2024
Fault: Stan Wawrinka backs up his talked-about French Open shorts with a fairly dull polo from Lotto. Thanks again, Wimbledon policy.
Ace: Another Wimbledon, another Roger Federer ensemble that does no wrong. Move along. (Okay, love the unbuttoned-tee look, Nike. Call it the anti-polo!)

Fault: Andrea Petkovic should have declared her mesh-y skirt at the border before entering the United Kingdom. WTF, Adidas. (As in, what tacky fashion.)

The Give Good Face Award: She did, however, deliver the most fiercely stylish look of the tournament to date, as seen at top-left here. And we’ll always have this.
Ace: Speaking of BMS, she trounced Ana Ivanovic in the secound round. Pity, that, as Ivanovic’s dress by Adidas featured classic, sedated horizontal stripes. It was timeless in a J.Crew kind of way.

Ana Ivanovic dumped out of #Wimbledon by American qualifier http://t.co/Khvw9LuKCe pic.twitter.com/UgYwLfU2Ls
Fault: Exhibit A of what Wimbledon’s all-white policy does to players’ sartorial profiles: Gael Monfils‘ Asics style was completely defanged.
Ace: Maria Sharapova might be best dressed among WTA players here if not for Serena. (Forever playing second fiddle to the GOAT?) The delicate, fashionable print on her dress is fun, with a similar abdomen-revealing layer underneath.
Best Off-court Fashion Moment: Petkovic did score with her LBD, which complemented her hair, phone, and (allegedly) “black soul.”
No.7 seed Ana Ivanovic is out. The Serb falls 6-3, 6-4 to qualifier @BMATTEK #Wimbledon pic.twitter.com/n0A2V90UV6
Ace: Uniqlo’s polo for Novak Djokovic is so well composed, it nearly belongs on Federer. The diagonal black stripes frame the Djoker’s upper body so well that I’m inclined to call it Best Dressed among the men. Question is, how did they make the cut at SW19 if Eugenie Bouchard got chided for her black secondary bra?
Ace: Venus Williams‘ dress from her eponymous EleVen by Venus label is a simple frock with a complicated back. Even if the materials over her shoulder blades look like a mess of cords sorely in need of a surge protector, the Spin says it’s a win. No-nonsense business up front, party in the back.
Bonus, Take 1: Most Stylish Move in Victory: Jelena Jankovic, rolling on her back with legs up, upon upending defending champ Petra Kvitova in three sets in the third round.
Fault: If anything about Tomas Berdych‘s H&M look seems interesting, it’s likely a wrinkle. That’s a bummer on the heels of some striking conversation-starters to date in this fashion marriage.
Best Accessory: Mike Bryan’s facial scruff. Different and pleasing. He’s on his way to looking like pal James Valentine, guitarist for Maroon 5.
Fault: Garbine Muguruza, presently proving herself on grass, is guilty of Petkovic’s same sartorial sin here. Down with mesh!

Ace: Caroline Wozniacki‘s cut-out midriff from Adidas adds a bit of edge to her personality, and mesh is used sparingly on her hemline.

Bonus, Take 3: Best Style Aide: In the midst of rocking his own popped collar and mini-mohawk, Nick Kyrgios helped a chair umpire suit up.
— Live Tennis (@livetennis) June 30, 2024
Ace: Petra Kvitova bowed out in three dramatic sets to Jelena Jankovic, but not before showing off a plunge-y top from Nike that seemed the feminine version of Fed’s look.
Fault: Camila Giorgi reveals just how quickly lace can go wrong. Simply too much of a good thing. Someone needs to take Mamma Giorgi’s sewing machine away.

Bonus, Take 2: Throwback Style: Thankfully, Venus gave up whatever is happening below at left.
No trouble for Venus. She beats Krunic 6-3, 6-2 to reach 4R at #Wimbledon for the 13th time. But who will she face? pic.twitter.com/CrBciIIIoU
