Ah, the perils of world travel. Jiri Vesely of the Czech Republic looks like he borrowed his compatriot Tomas Berdych’s H&M kit in the below photo, but in reality for this week’s Grand Prix Hassan.
According to the ATP, Vesely has been sponsored by Lotto since he was 15, but because he believes that his bags might be permanently lost (his coach, Ladislav Simon, also lost his bags but has since got them back), he went out to buy some tennis gear for the first time in a long time.
Vesely may not want to part with those funky board shorts anytime soon. He snapped a seven-match losing streak today with his win over Youzhny. Plus, he can hit the pool after a match without needing to change.
Elsewhere in Casablanca, wild card and world No. 313 Lamine Ouahab upset top-seeded and defending champion Guillermo Garcia Lopez, 6-3, 6-3, to reach the quarterfinals. Daniel Gimeno-Traver and Aljaz Bedene also reached the quarterfinals in Morocco on Thursday.
