While the Williams sisters have added a touch of bling to the game, we've had to rely on Mr Henman as its male sartorial ambassador. Alas, new posh
totty, Andy Roddick is changing all that thanks to winning last year's Stella Artois Championship. And that's two things that remind me of summer: tennis and proudly priced lager.

But what to wear on court? Admittedly, Nike and Adidas have homogenised every other sport, but the classic brands of Lacoste and Ellesse are still synonymous with racquet style. Speaking of the latter, Ellesse (who are sponsoring this year's Stella Championship) have just unveiled a sexy new tennis range.

Hell, you don't even have to play the bloody game, just hanging out at the courts looking crisp is enough - just be careful not to soil your whites.
