Rafael Nadal returns to the Grand Slam tournaments from injury at this year's US Open tennis tournament. I couldn't help but notice the drastic changes in his appearance. Gone are the sleeveless t-shirts and capri-esque long shorts. Nadal is now sporting a regular collared polo type shirt with regular above-the-knee length shorts.
This is a drastic change for the man who arguably pioneered unconventional tennis attire. Yet more drastic is his hairstyle. Nadal always had longish hair that fell below his chin midway to the neckline. At the US Open, we're perhaps a bit shocked to see that Nadal's hairstyle and length is quite similar to... Federer?
That's right folks. Nadal's appearance appears to be identical to Roger Federer. His Nike shirt, shorts, and even bandana are the same as Federer's. The hair similarities just make things a little bit creepy.
We know Nadal doesn't need Federer's game to win, but adopting Federer's appearance an attempt to stay injury free?

Old vs. New. Still got the fist pump.
His barber finally has work to do.

For me, Federer still looks "Old biscuit". IMO, Nadal has found the right style, I can't stand sleeve less shirt... not even on a basketball court...
what about his "bad habit"??
