Nike‘s biggest WTA stars Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams will both be absent from the 2017 French Open, the Russian because of being denied a wildcard and the American because of her pregnancy, but their clothing giant did create their dresses for Paris, just in case.
It’s rather strange that Maria and Nike opted for such a dark and simple design for Roland Garros. The Nike Summer Maria Premier Tunic, also known as the NikeCourt Power Maria Tennis Dress, features a U-shaped neck, racerback and dropped back hem for optimal coverage, while in terms of performance, the item is equipped with Nike Power fabric for stretch and support, Dri-FIT technology for dryness and comfort and strategically-placed mesh insets for good ventilation.
