Caroline Wozniacki, former world No. 1, made a striking comeback to the Grand Slam stage at the US Open, dazzling fans with her unique style and inspiring performance. The Danish tennis star, returning to the courts after maternity leave, captivated audiences not only with her gameplay but also with a bold fashion choice that reflected her dynamic personality.
Making a Statement with Adidas
Wozniacki stepped onto the US Open courts in an eye-catching, royal blue bodysuit, designed by her long-time sponsor Adidas. The form-fitting outfit, part of the brand’s Fall Slam Pro Set, was paired with a black, asymmetrical jacket that doubled as a convertible bag—a nod to both practicality and cutting-edge design. When asked about her daring outfit, Wozniacki embraced its boldness: “I mean, it’s the US Open. Why not? At this point, we may as well make a statement.”
Adidas’s Fall Slam Pro Set collection embodies innovation, offering modular pieces that players can personalize. While most Adidas athletes added a layered skirt to their leotard base, Wozniacki chose a minimalist approach, reminiscent of her friend Serena Williams’s iconic fashion statements during her own return to tennis after maternity leave.
A Nod to Tennis History
The vibrant royal blue of Wozniacki’s bodysuit isn’t just about style—it pays homage to the rich history of tennis. Adidas revived this bold color from its archives, a tribute to the legendary Billie Jean King, who wore blue shoes during her historic 1973 “Battle of the Sexes” match. This year’s US Open also marks the 50th anniversary of the tournament becoming the first Grand Slam to offer equal prize money to men and women, further amplifying the significance of the outfit. Wozniacki’s matching blue manicure added an extra layer of thoughtful detail to the look.
A Surprise Return
While Adidas meticulously planned its US Open collection, Wozniacki’s return to the courts caught many by surprise. Her decision to compete came together quickly, leaving little time for preparation. “Because I didn’t let many people know for a long time, it was kind of a last-minute, ‘All right, let’s go for it,’” she shared. The resulting outfit, hastily assembled by Adidas, perfectly complemented her confident return to competitive tennis.
Completing the Look with Elegance
Adding a touch of glamour to her ensemble, Wozniacki accessorized with a Rolex watch and a stack of diamond pave bracelets, including Cartier’s iconic Juste un Clou and LOVE designs. She also wore gold and diamond necklaces engraved with the names of her two young children, Olivia and James, a heartfelt nod to her family.
A Triumphant Comeback
Caroline Wozniacki’s return to the Grand Slam spotlight is a testament to her resilience and passion for the game. Her statement-making outfit, combined with her determination and poise, serves as a reminder of her status as one of tennis’s most stylish and accomplished athletes. With her first Grand Slam since becoming a mother, Wozniacki continues to inspire, both on and off the court.
