For its 2025 Roland Garros collection, the Wilson design team threw it back all the way to the 1999 tournament with ‘sun-kissed shades that look incredible on red clay’—as seen on Canada’s Victoria Mboko and United States’ Alycia Parks.

“That was really the main goal, not just to pull from this historic moment, but to make sure that everything we do looks incredible on the red clay surface,” says Joelle Michaeloff, Wilson’s VP of Design (Sportswear).

Wilson’s first head-to-toe player Marta Kostyuk sported a special ‘Chinois Green’ colorway of her signature Updown Court Dress.

“Our goal is to design sportswear with technology so stealth all you see is a style you want to wear every single day,” Michaeloff says.

“Rather than have it scream technology, we hide performance tech—embedding it in everything we do, making every single item we create functional and ready to sweat.”

It’s the blue and green outfit that launched a thousand “Luigi” memes, worn by world No. 1 Jannik Sinner. But did you know there’s a “Mario” version too? Fellow Nike rep Karen Khachanov wore the red version of the NikeCourt Slam Polo and Short in Paris.

“No, it’s nice, you know?” Sinner told Tennis.com of the online chatter.

"I feel like sometimes we need to see the funny part as well. It’s something different, and it’s also nice sometimes to change things up—if not, it gets too boring."

Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz went with a white, black, and cyan version of Nike’s Slam Advantage crew shirt and matching black shorts. Before and after matches, he also added a rugby-inspired long sleeve polo to the mix.

But early in the tournament, all the buzz was about Alcaraz flying in his personal barber for a mid-tournament haircut.

"I think everybody saw my hair, my beard. So I had to do something, about it," Alcaraz grinned during the post-match press conference.

"I know people are not used to see myself getting a haircut during the matches," he added. "I think that's why the people was a little bit surprised, but I think that's something normal."

Japanese for “cherry blossom,” Naomi Osaka said her outfit was inspired by her country’s sakura season—the second of four flower-inspired kits she’s created for this year’s Grand Slams.

“I'm really excited about the kit, because I designed it. I don't know why Nike is letting me do this stuff!" she told Tennis.com during a pre-tournament interview.

“I don't know if you can see from all the way over here, but I did my nails and they're sakura-themed too,” she added. “I'm really sticking to the flower story that we have.”

Nike's reps Zheng Qinwen and Mirra Andreeva took contrasting approaches to their Roland Garros outfits—to equally stylish results.

“This outfit is supposed to be for on-court, but I’m too shy to do it!” Zheng told Tennis Channel of the long bordeaux-red skirt. “I want to look more normal, and not too ‘fashion’ before I jump in the match!” China's No. 1 wore the skirt and long-sleeved warmup top to all her media appearances, instead.

Andreeva, meanwhile, was all in after getting over her own initial hesitation: “Honestly, I can’t imagine people playing their actual matches in this kind of long skirt!” Andreeva told Tennis.com. “I love that Nike had an idea to try and bring out this classic vibe from, like, (many) years ago.”

But it was her off-court fashion that drew extra buzz—particularly the chic Vanson Leathers jacket she wore before and after every match.

“I’m debuting my new logo and my new line, I’m making custom things now!” Townsend told Tennis Channel’s Prakash Amritraj.

“I’m No. 2 in the world in doubles and I don’t have a clothing sponsor, so I was like, why not take it into my own hands and do my own thing?”
