When you play high voltage tennis like Rafael Nadal you need a bright kit. This one's hot. I like that it doesn't have the look of a uniform.
Pictured left is Rafa's US Open day look, the Ace Rafa Court Crew in treasure blue $65, and white short. Both are replicated for night play in white (right) with sonic yellow and solid black shorts.
The print is a sublimated graphic that resembles shot-spot hits clustered into court lines. The back and sleeves of the shirt are set with fully breathable mesh - no print on back. A thin line of sonic yellow runs down each side.
Here's a detail pic on the crew:
The shorts are mens Ace woven, long, like Rafa likes 'em, $66.
Nadal's tennis shoes are the Air Max Court Ballistic 3.3, $125, extra durable in the toe area and branded with Rafa's signature bull and battle cry. They come in a variety of colors including the blue that matches the day shirt.
Find it all at Nike, Tennis-Warehouse and tennis retailers worldwide.
