Nike dress: Maria Sharapova goes orange & sporty for the 2016 Australian Open

Maria Sharapova is changing her style for the 2016 Australian Open. Last year the Russian's tops were dominated by thin racerbacks or spaghetti straps, while this season her first dress of the year features very athletic mesh racerback design, with contrast bonded zipper for easy on and off.

The world number five Sharapova has absolutely departed from her glamorous past and is embracing classic sporty designs. I am welcoming the change, absolutely! It is a refreshment! Still, I miss the super elegant Maria, with Tiffany earrings and sparkly dresses suitable for no other venue than Grand Slam arenas.
