from roddick, we’ll take what we can get
Subtle stripes: As you know, Andy is no Venus Williams; he’s perfectly content playing in plain, drab clothing. So you bet we were happy that he welcomed some bright stripes on the collar of his Lacoste performance polo.

golovin a goner?
TSF has learned that former French star and Lacoste-wearer Tatiana Golovin’s career might be on the outs — for good. Golovin struggled with injury throughout her short career, but a bad back has seemingly put her on the sideline indefinitely. Two weeks ago she spoke with the French pub L’E...

nono bags first win since the french
Munchkin Watch: Two snaps for Arnaud Clement for snapping a six-match losing streak that dated all the way back to this year’s French Open. Now he’s into the second round of the IF Stockholm Open after defeating fifth-seed Andreas Beck 6-4, 6-2 — this, after successfully getting through q...

imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, we guess
That multi-year Erke deal as the Shanghai ATP Masters tournament’s official apparel sponsor has churned out some pretty good merch: equal parts classic (polos, tees), outerwear (hoodies, winter jackets, pullovers), and pants in bright colors like lime, fuschia, teal, red, and navy....

a quiet year for michael llodra
Buy: At least that Lacoste Super Dry Stripe Polo looks refreshing. This was the company’s standard issue for all the men at the U.S. Open. Note the “tennis ball” green accent at the cuff and the solid block of the collar. TSF prefers the black version. $95 at Midwest Sports.

When he isn’t busy crafting looks for Lacoste or curating for the French company’s shop-in-shop, Christophe Lemaire is off creating clothing for his eponymous line, whose aesthetic draws from eastern silhouettes like kurtas, tunics, and trenches — all in flowing fabrics like mollet...

warm-up jackets: gasquet (wimbledon) and cibulkova (french)?
And in case they don’t put Andy Roddick or the guys in their french stable in those shorts (we can only dream!), Lacoste can at least grab two looks from their Spring 2010 runway show and slap ‘em on some tennis pros. Since everyone is all about accessorizing for their short strut from locker r...

with hayden, lacoste steps up with a “challenge”
Lacoste looks back at its tennis roots in its latest men’s scent, the Lacoste Challenge. The unique bottle features a tennis racquet design, referring to Rene Lacoste’s long-ago innovation of adhering plaster to his sticks to improve their grips. images courtesy of Lacoste)

tommy robredo, is that you?
Who knew that under all that hair would be a Tommy Robredo 2.0? Perhaps Jeremy’ll consider being more like Tommy and doing some, uhm, modeling… What do you think of Jeremy’s new ‘do? Tell us!) Buy: Lacoste Short Sleeve Solid Super Dry Zip Polo, black/white/blue, $88, lacoste.com.

a quiet tank crushes the draw
This mellow racerback dress from Lacoste’s spring line has gotten a lion’s share of airtime in the ten days of French Open play thus far. Jelena Dokic wore it as she fell apart with a back injury in her second round match while ahead against Elena Dementieva. “Obviously it’s not my time at the g...

there’s always a silver lining
My friend Chris, on Andy Roddick: “I think [Andy] takes losses harder than any other player, it seems. He always looks more defeated than any other player, like he cant even bear to look up. He just looks at the ground, at his feet, as he rushes off court.

fashion focus: nathalie dechy plays peekablue
Kudos to chic chick Nathalie Dechy for bowing out to Ekaterina Makarova in the best way possible at the first round of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells — a 3-6, 6-1, 6-3 fight while layering royal blue under this season’s Lacoste tennis dress. (Sveta: are you paying attention?)

eyes on the dc
While the Israel-Sweden tie has certainly brought a frown to our faces, you can’t help but love Davis Cup weekend. Check out some of the scenes from Day One of the year’s first DC weekend. Advantage, apparel: Lacoste was a winner in Birmingham, Alabama, where alligator-clad Stanislas Wa...

fed cup fashions
In Orleans, France, the Italian team of Flavia Pennetta, Sara Errani, and Roberta Vinci won the heated tie 5-0. Ms. Pennetta’s prim and proper Sergio Tacchini outfit was no match for her finger-raising ways. Meanwhile, Amelie Mauresmo wore red Reebok, and Alize Cornet matched her light bl...

the aussie open in greyscale
Meanwhile, Andy Roddick couldn’t care less if he played in a potato sack (as long as he wins another Grand Slam!), so it’s no surprise to see another ho-hum shirt from Lacoste. His first round scalp was Bjorn Rehnquist, whom he beat by dropping only four games.

practice makes perfect
Murray decides to put some clothes on and wears a black Fred Perry Laurel tee. Hewitt shows off his guns in sleeveless Yonex; Roddick in another Lacoste tee. Jankovic, in purple, is still without a clothing sponsor.

checking up on Andy Roddick
Bonus round: Enjoy the pics! Andy Roddick’s 2009 isn’t so shabby so far. He made it all the way to the finals of the Qatar ExxonMobil Open, where he lost to Andy Murray 4-6, 2-6. The American enters next week’s Australian Open as the seventh seed, getting an upward bump because of my poor...

from australia, the french revue!
Not to be outdone by her compatriots Golovin and Llodra, and to the delight of teenage boys — and some teenage girls — everywhere, French teenager Alize Cornet performed her own Lacoste wet t-shirt contest during last week’s mixed doubles match at the Hopman Cup.

lemaire and lacoste’s fall 2008 — where do we insert andy roddick?
Lemaire, the side project of Lacoste creative director Christopher Lemaire, drew inspiration from the Far East for his current fall collection, constructing winter coats and jackets with the silhouettes of South Asian garments like kramas (scarf) and kurtas (tunic). –

fashion focus: cibulkova’s lacoste outfit has us seeing spots
Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova adds to her strong year (two finals — Amelia Island and Toronto) by dispatching world No. 5 and reigning French Open champ Ana Ivanovic 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 in the second round of the Kremlin Cup. She showed up the Serb (sorry, Ana) by wearing a simple white Lacoste tenn...

CC day 4: andy and brooklyn’s puppy love, a new lacoste top, etc.
Meanwhile, Andy Roddick notched a routine win over drop shot-obsessed Serbian Dusan Vemic in the feature night match. Andy wore a black/white version of the Super Dry Stripe Polo from Lacoste’s latest line. Fiancee Brooklyn Decker was there to cheer him on, of course, and we learn in his po...

Holy fcuk!
But I guess an almost-obscenity is on par with mensy-looking get-up Dominika Cibulkova wore for her first round match against Jie Zheng. (Zheng won 6-4, 6-3.) Cibulkova subs for Tati Golovin as the 2008 Lacoste bunny. Sadly, this flashy underwear is now year-old news.
