I know the story behind this one: Back in the day, Stepanek didn't make enough money on the tour, so he had a part-time job officiating high school basketball games (must have liked the jersey well enough to wear it in a match).

I nevvvvver understood why he would ever dress like that at Wimledon.
I am a huge fan cause he seems to be so down to earth . But here I felt a little :shock:


lol rog is a legend man. nobody else born after 1910 could get away with wearing that at wimbledon. He should definetely wear the trousers one match too, maybe against some nobody in the 1st round :)

I really had no problem with that, except that I thought it was a bit lame that he just warmed up in that outfit. If you're gonna do it, do it all the way and play 5 sets in that #$^$. THAT....would have been legendary

That's probably pretty close to the truth, actually.

One of the reasons I stopped rooting for him. One of the most gracious, humble players to ever play the game.......turns into a tool almost overnight. Probably the greatest ever, but just can't stand the guy anymore.

I hope Rafa brings him to tears again this year. Dweeb.

It's not mean when it's the truth. He's simply one of the ugliest humans I've ever seen, not just ugliest tennis player...I think it's awesome that he's overcome his mutated face to have a sweet career playing a game, and managed to bag a pretty hot girlfriend too. Thumbs up

Here's a question. If it was really hot at wimbledon on year, and a player took off his shirt, is it illegal? tehnically he is still wearing all white, but do the rules say a shirt must be worn? or has a pro not thought of this? i play in the summer topless quite a lot so if i ever played at wimbledon i'd be tempted

That is most surely against the rules. I know that Blake stretched the rules when he played sleeve-less in Wimbledon for the first time.
