2015 Australian Open Fashion Faults: The Men

We've reached our fashion-centric finale: The Daily Spin's send-up of the style-challenged male competitors Down Under. So far the women's aces and faults in this department and the men's fashion winners have been named. (We won't say shamed. It's all in good fun.)

Without further ado, it's time to reveal the sartorial disasters at this, the 2015 pro tennis season's Grand Slam kickoff.

Famously sporting H&M since 2014, Tomas Berdych might have looked better in this in a few months, set against the red clay in Paris. As is, the shirt design is a mess, and his throwback striped socks and shorts—getting shorter by the month, it seems—can't salvage that.

Grigor Dimitrov is crisply dressed—that much is true, as is his wont. Perhaps he has just set the bar so high with some of his Nike designs in the past couple years, but I'm not relishing this white-and-black look. Worse yet: when he wears it with predominantly white shoes and black socks. That's such a dad thing for a 23-year-old to devolve to doing.

Uniqlo is a brand that's dear to the Spin, but it inserts Kei Nishikori in an overt fashion disaster here. Sad to say, this is my pick for Worst Dressed male player at this Slam. If Dimitrov's black socks/white shoes combo looks like dad fashion, this gray shirt-and-shorts look with white shoes seems like something one's grandfather would sport. Just say no.

Bernard Tomic tries but does not quite succeed in confidently donning this fashion-forward Nike top. And you really have to see the entire shirt. To be honest, it's just kind of a mess. Not a cliched "hot mess," oh no. This one's lukewarm.

An "A" for effort here, and the Spin really does love it when players have fun with fashion, but Nick Kyrgios—despite his personality that suits it—can't pull off this shirt either. (Well, he can pull it off at his leisure, even file it away in a museum. We just don't want to see it again.)

That said, the predominantly yellow version of that Nike shirt, as shown on Kyrgios when he upset Ivo Karlovic, is even worse. A flat-out eyesore.

There's a lot to like about Aussie teen Thanasi Kokkinakis, who saw off Ernests Gulbis early. And unlike his compatriots Tomic and Kygrios, he has the gumption to wear Nike shorts that continue the pattern bleeding down from the lower half of their companion T-shirt. Problem is, it just looks garish.

Kokkinakis does earn style points, however, for the best post-victory celebration so far at this Slam:

Le Coq Sportif is new to Richard Gasquet, who formerly wore Lacoste. Too bad his drab white polo here is the definition of a yawner.

John Isner's Lacoste polo is just too similar in tone to the Melbourne courts. That's right, big man: Bite down on the towel.

Viktor Troicki seems to be doing his best Samantha Stosur impression, though in Adidas. It's not working.

Kevin Anderson has a lot o' game, but in the style department, Lotto doesn't do him justice. He's in a shirt the Spin wishes to like but can't look on without seeing the Indianapolis 500 race's checkered flag for some reason.

Thus our fashion features are now complete. With a week remaining in this Slam, pardon your style-loving Spin keeper for already pining for the French Open's sartorial reveals. We all know Paris is synonymous with fashion. See you there.
