That wacky “guys’-guy” Brad Gilbert has done it again. The tennis legend-in-his-own-mind had this to say about Juan Martin Del Potro’s seemingly masculine all-black outfit at the U.S. Open:
I’m giving a big thumbs-up to Del Potro’s all-black gear. It looks physical, he’s stepping up. They had him in too much of a fruity-looking outfit at the French and Wimbledon. Now he’s looking like a physical specimen.
Maybe he just likes that the black is slimming on Del Potro. Of course, if he thinks you can’t be “fruity” (as he calls it) and be a physical specimen, I’d like to introduce him to Esera Tuaolo and Ian Roberts.
Funny that a guy who could never get past a Grand Slam quarterfinal (his biggest career win was in Cincinnati; ooooooh, impressive!) would criticize somebody else, whether it’s about their outfit or not. But I guess that’s what “guys’ guys” do.

All men’s men know white is not as flattering as black. Snaps to him for noticing. BTW, tennis tip, Wimbledon still requires all white tennis wear.
