Look of the Week: Does Jannik Sinner’s Gucci duffle bag signal a shift at Wimbledon?

Editor’s Note: Featuring the good, the bad and the ugly, ‘Look of the Week’ is a regular series dedicated to unpacking the most talked about outfit of the last seven days. CNN — On Monday July 3, Italian tennis star and Men’s Singles contender Jannik Sinner arrived on the center court at Wimbledon with a custom Gucci duffle bag slung across one shoulder. In 2021, Grand Slam champion Emma Raducanu fused fashion and tennis together even further when she became the face of Dior, Tiffany’s & Co. and even attended the Met Gala. Tony Triolo/Sports Illustrated/Getty Images Swedish player Bjorn Borg was known for his Babe Ruth-inspired, pinstriped Fila polos, shirts which he re-wore religiously; 1987 Men’s Singles winner Pat Cash would seldom be seen without his gaudy checkerboard headband — an act of rebellion against the then-newly-mandated rule that all accessories should be white. But while Sinner’s Gucci hold-all was the first high-end luggage bag to be brought onto the London court, it’s not quite the watershed moment fashion fanatics might hope for.
