When Tennis meets Fashion: Roger "Neapolitan" Federer

Roger Federer made his return to the ATP world tour at the Toronto Masters after his Wimbledon quarterfinal defeat....in Neapolitan ice-cream?

After strolling through my usual tennis blogs, I picked up a hot-topic, and that is Nike's questionable new ensemble for Federer's summer hard court series. Seems like the designers over at Nike, was having a bit of a sweet-tooth, hence why we see Roger sporting a pink polo, chocolate shorts, and a pair of white sneakers...mm...now I want some Neapolitan ice-cream (it's my favorite!!)

And for those of you who can care less what Roger wears on or off-court, he's found a little something extra in himself to beat Berdych in a tight three-setter, winning the match 6-3 5-7 7-6 (5). By doing so he also avoids a 3rd straight defeat to the Czech Player and advancing to the semi-final.

And for those of you who do care what Roger wears, what do you think of his Nike summer hard-court ensemble? I don't think pink's a great color on Roger, or any tennis players b/c they're just too tan (anyone remember Radek Stepanek???), and I don't like the pink against the blue hard-courts.
