You better believe we were excited to finally see the new Spring/Summer 2008 looks from Fila Japan as worn by their sponsored player, Akiko Morigami. Here she is playing on the third day of the Sony Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne. She lost to Italian Sara Errani 2-6, 6-3, 4-6.

For the most part, thanks to Ichizo, all that we found were nibblets — a cryptic post on her own site talking about a photo shoot, and that picture on the right from the shoot’s stylist.
Until this week, of course. We’ll do another post about the rest of the men’s and women’s tennis collections soon.

Thanks Erwin. I looked a few other sites and didn’t find any new ones. I really like the one on the ATP site where he is petting the dolphin.
