The first days of the Australian Open have already produced some fashion winners – and a few double faults.
Angelique Kerber (GER)
After getting best on ground last year in her aqua, red and orange Adidas kit, Kerber is back with a blue and orange combination that looks like the old Australian Open logo, which is probably why it works. The spaghetti straps on the top are not great for tan lines but, dang, they are pretty.

Australian Open fashion hits and misses
This year, the fashion stakes are higher than ever, so let's take a look back at some notable winners and losers from Australian Opens past.

Serena Williams (US)
The queen of the court is back in the "premier power dress" and boy, does she rock it. The high neckline, back stripe detailing and arm compression stockings combine for a fierce look that is only topped by her black boots. Not to be messed with.

Jaimee Fourlis (AUS)
Her Open campaign may have only lasted the wink of an eye, but kudos to the 17-year-old wildcard entrant for her Wilson "regatta" top, which looks like a fun halter-neck tankini. As a bonus, now that she's banked an $80,000 pay day, she can take it on a beach holiday.

Fabio Fognini (ITL)
Who said a skull motif and tennis don't mix? It's great to see players embracing new brands such as Italian luxury sportswear label Hydrogen. The blue camouflage pattern is also on point.

Monica Niculescu (ROU)
Another player to embrace a boutique label, her Sofibella outfits are simple yet chic, in bright colours that look great on television and evoke the Australian summer.

Bethanie Mattek-Sands (US)
The long black socks, the hibiscus print sleeveless polo, it's just one heck of a confused look. Known for her outrageous fashion choices – she has competed in leopard print and an all-gold ensemble – the American isn't afraid to take risks. Unfortunately this one hasn't paid off.

Dasha Gavrilova (AUS) and Samantha Stosur (AUS)
When a Chux wipe meets a bottle of Domestos – that pretty much sums up Asics' uninspiring efforts for the Australians. Much preferred the white wrap skirt Gavrilova wore in 2016; the return to a traditional tennis skirt looks like a high school uniform gone wrong.

Novak Djokovic (SRB)
Djokovic's Uniqlo kit may have helped him win four of his six Australian Open titles, but it's the fashion equivalent of watching paint dry. This year's aqua shirt is unflattering, with his royal blue polo of 2016 a much better bet.

Jelena Jankovic (SRB)
Fila's efforts for 2017 evoke a bygone era – and not a fashionable one. An odd, retro choice after her super-chic 2016 US Open outfit. Hard to believe in this outfit that she used to be the world No. 1.
