“I don’t recall her name, I know nothing about tennis. I saw a photo of her from the 20s or 30s, and I liked her silhouette, and I said ‘allez, let’s play tennis,” Jean Paul Gaultier on Susan Lenglen who happened to be his Spring 2010 inspiration for Hermes. He might be the only the man in Paris who holds the distinction of not knowing who Lenglen is. But we forgive him!

We love this green tournament look for Rafael Nadal, who sported this fresh Nike color for the first time this week. So far, it’s working. He destroyed poor Marat Safin on this way to the semifinals.

Not every tennis player gets to play around with a supermodel on a couture shoot on most weekday afternoons. Gaël Monfils (who wore Nike to the shoot) paired up with Yankee star Karlie Kloss in a stunning series of photographs captured by Arthur Elgort and styled by legendary Grace Coddington. The duo shot these photos back in July in Paris but you can experience them in the current issue of American Vogue.
