Wuhan: We finally got to see Maria's black and white Nike dress, but its new life lasted only 2 hr 42 min

This week in Wuhan we finally got to see Maria Sharapova's new Nike dress in action, but the Russian unfortunately transitioned from one injury to the other and this black and white fashion statement is going back to the closet, likely for good.

The Nike Fall Premier Dress was bound to be one of fashion hits at the US Open, bringing contrasts of black and white, with the dark color-blocks featuring perforations that are both functional and visually-appealing. However, just as the US Open was about to start, Maria Sharapova announced that she would not play in New York, extending her leg injury layoff that started after Wimbledon.
