The great part is these things are always replaced with something better! Right. I wish.

You know what they say: nostalgia isn't what it used to be. :*^(B

^^^ The undisputed king of tennis fashion. I had to jog about the length of a tennis court the other day in my Air Tech Challenges and good grief they suck. I have no idea how Andre did it. The shorts and racquet (both ATG material) are probably the most comfortable thing in that whole ensemble, but progress is sometimes painful! Shirt straight out of the pack, creases and all.

Don’t forget the wig here. In his book, Andre discussed the uncomfy glue he used to make sure it didn’t fly off while playing.

and neck hair and pluck it out of their ears and trim it hanging out of their nose.

One of the refined guys self torture methods: manual pulling out of nose hair. Sneezefest following.
They say nose hairs are the longest of the human body: when you pull one out, it’s like you feel it down there.

For ear hair pull out, there will always be willing ladies with torture instincts armed with tweezers.

I've never shaved. Never had any complaints from any ladies. Actually to be honest one time when I did shave my legs and arms people laughed at it.

It's just not masculine.

Andre started to shave his chest and leg hair in the late 90’s. Very unfortunate choice, IMO.
Chest hair is 50 50.
Shaving your leg hair is a huge mistake. You should be proud of every leg hair you have. Shave them and youll never have manly legs again in this lifetime. I feel bad for swimmers. All the swimmers i knew shaved their legs.

Fed is not especially attractive, but without his chest hair he loses some of what makes him special. Chest hair is epic, never shave it if you're male unless you're a body builder or swimmer. The ladies will thank you.

Yeah i can go either way on chest hair. I think it can look good on some ppl but bad on others. Feds chest hair is glorious i agree.

It's the hair on his HEAD in his younger days that would have sold it with a lot of women. He really had great hair.

Feds hair is still pretty great desu
His hairline is receding a bit today and he usually has it cut really, really short. It was better when it had volume and length. Right about when he cut it for the 2004 YEC.

I know I might be in the minority on this one - god knows I definitely was when this tournament was being played - but I always loved Roddick's 2004 USO kit. This stuff was - to quote Steph Curry's shoes - straight fire.

I'm glad there is a "watch later" option.

I will always say yes to that option.

Also - I love that they picked that shirt for Fed.

Kind of Reminds me of Fed down 3-1 in the 5th... and what happened later.

Thank God Federer won that match, bc Maestronians would never have an epic match to go on about.

Same! I know most people remember cap-Roddick more, but visor-Roddick had one of the great all-time AO matches against Younes El-Aynaoui back in 2003. Great shotmaking and heart from both guys.

It's true.
If we lose AO17

We will have none left....

No WB F 2001
No WB F 2007
No RG 2009 v Del Possum
No WB F 2009
No RG SF 2011
No WB F 2012

All other the other massive 14 slam title beat downs given by the GOAT would disappear as well.

And the last 5 matches with Nads...

All turned to dust by Thanos.

Bunch of snoozefests ;)
Honestly he was only epic Wimby 07, 08, AO09, Rome 06, and FO 2011, and all those involve Nadal besides the 11 semi. Wimby 09 would only be epic if Andy won. Federer winning makes the match so pointless its insane. Who would watch that torture? He might as well have tanked in 3, throw it in the garbage :p

If you seriously wanna knock on feds hairline youre probly gonna be disappointed in your selection of suitors. About 1 in 50 guys has hair as good as fed at his age
