More pics comin’ around of what the guys are wearing at the Aussie Open. This time, it’s Novak Djokovic‘s adidas kit — part of the Spring ’08 line we wrote about earlier.

While black/neo-blue might be harsh under the Australian Summer sun, it will work pretty well under the lights of the Rod Laver Arena. I like this colorway the best.

Not being able to read articles in l’Equipe is one big reason I regret not learning French. (The other? Not understanding all of Eddie Izzard‘s stand-up routines.)

Here’s a story that the French paper did on Nikolay Davydenko back in May. Can someone help with a translation?

Read: Page 1, page 2. And an uncropped version of the Kolya photo here.

junior fashion, maria in the hot seat, venus graduates!

Edge dress buzz: This girl wore the new adidas Edge Dress all the way through the Eddie Herr 14s final this past weekend. Junior tennis expert Colette Lewis snapped this photo and sent it to us. “She bought it at a pro shop and everybody is asking her where she got it.”

Maria in the hot seat: A harmless trip to a Heat game churns HMM’s rumor mill — is Maria Sharapova dating a basketball player? Probably not. Is she a fan of swag? Yes. (DTL)

She graduates!: Fashionista Venus WIlliams is the best thing that happened to a little art school in Florida. She’ll receive her associate’s degree in Fashion Design on December 13. (PR Newswire)

Now some OT…

Late adopter? Don’t care: A friend passed along the MySpace of musician Val Emmich, whose career renaissance can be attributed to roles on 30 Rock and the upcoming Cashmere Mafia. My favorite song of his: I Spend My Whole Life Waiting.

Redesigning design: Starchitects like Richard Meier, Zada Haddid, and Frank Gehry are flexing their high-profile muscle and applying their visions to sweaters, vases, and jewelry. (Portfolio.com)

Heaven Hell on earth: China tried to make a Shangri-La, but all they ended up with was a tourist trap. (CSM)

davis cup: sightings in the stands

While it might be the case that this past weekend’s Davis Cup title was invisible to most Americans (there was lots of football to be watched), there’s no doubt that the fans who got to see it live were having a blast.

More photos after the cut…

Andy Roddick puts up his feet after a job well done (contributing one point in USA’s 4-1 win over Russia in the Davis Cup finals). Here he is watching Sunday’s dead rubbers.

Scorelines: Doubles specialist Bob Bryan lost to Igor Andreev 3-6, 6-7 (4), while James Blake beat Dmitry Tursunov 1-6, 6-3, 7-5.

6-1? Man, Blake is streaky!
