1) Nick Kyrgios returns to Indian Wells in his signature sleeveless attire
Fan-favorite Nick Kyrgios made his sixth appearance at the BNP Paribas Open on Wednesday.
Kyrgios showcased a spirited performance against Botic van de Zandschulp, but couldn't get past the Dutchman in the first round. After a grueling tiebreaker loss in the first set, he was forced to retire in the second due to injury.
The Australian was one of the best-dressed players on Day Two, sporting a classic blue sleeveless T-shirt by Nike and plain black shorts. He completed the look with a white cap and red Nike shoes, which complemented the court’s vibrant atmosphere in the night.
2) Anastasia Potapova
Second on the list is World No. 34 Anastasia Potapova.
Potapova entered Indian Wells after a second-round exit in Dubai. She started her campaign with a remarkable three-set win over Jessica Bouzas Maneiro. Despite losing an intense tiebreaker in the first set, she held her nerve to close the match 6-7(5), 6-4, 7-5.
The Russian did impress with her performance but her outfit was a miss on Day Two. She opted for an orange tank top and a light blue skirt, which was a bit of a mismatch as per the fashion police. Potapova’s jewelry made an effort to elevate the look but the overall style fell flat on Day Two
3) Jaqueline Cristian
