The anatomy of Roger Federer’s tennis polo

The heat in #melbourne is well documented. Temperatures during the summer’s major #tennis tournament can reach into the 100°s (about 37° Celsius). For #tennis players such as #rogerfederer, this means there’s no shortage of sweat during the city’s hallmark #competition.

Sweat, of course, is the enemy of all athletes: It causes apparel to take on moisture and results in both physical and mental distraction through increased weight and cling. Because of the stop-and-go nature of #tennis, more moisture is expelled than in an activity of consistent intensity (like running). Thus, #tennis equipment must tackle the challenges of sweat saturation and the clothing sticking to the body. Fittingly, Roger Federer’s polo for #melbourne solves this with a design of subdued aesthetic (commensurate with the Swiss legend’s classic style) that’s still packed with new technical details.
