Clash of the Colourfuls (Serena vs. Pironkova)

Here we not only have two really good tennis players duking it out in the 2020 U.S. Open quarter-finals to advance to the next round, but the two pairs of shoes are competing for something in their own right - the shoe lovers' attention!!  What you like depends on whether or not you like the plum purple more than the diva pink.

In case you're wondering, Tsvetana Pironkova sports the Asics GEL-Resolution 7, while Serena Williams counters with customized NikeCourt Flare 2, a variation only she has access to.  No wonder it's so hard to find out the shoe model name for these Nikes.

Below are a pair of zoomed-out pictures of these shoes.

Novak Djokovic & His Shoes Got Kicked Out

It looks as though Djokovic and his Asics Court FF Novaks won't be seen for the rest of the 2020 US Open Tournament.

 No, it's not because he has a bad left shoulder.

It's because he hit a line judge while casually whacking the ball back towards the wall in frustration of his underperformance.  It wasn't even hit all that hard but it struck her square in the Adam's Apple resulting in her gagging.  This took place on Sunday, September 6, 2020.

After some careful thought and analysis, the chair umpire was forced to make Novak yield the match to his opponent, Pablo Carreno Busta, and will forfeit all of his prize money accumulated in 2020 US Open tournament, as well as all the ranking points he has accumulated from his tournament match wins.
