The color palette of the jerseys of the individual players at the ATP Finals in Turin is not that broad.

In his early phase, the great Otto Waalkes liked to hoist a snow-white flag during his live performances. And this was sold as the East German national flag: “White eagle on a white background”. The supplier companies of the participants of the ATP Finals in Turin seem to have largely taken up this idea: Most of them dressed their players in the same blue ambience. For the photographers who live from the contrast between the jerseys and their surroundings, the sheer horror.
Lacoste with Daniil Medvedev and Adidas with Alexander Zverev made it particularly exciting: The two top executives in Group B are going to the season end of the ATP Tour in a very dark blue. After all: Medvedev in white shorts.
Tsitsipas in white
Lotto (Matteo Berrettini), Yonex (Casper Ruud and Hubert Hurkacz) have made it a little easier. The three warriors wear light blue. Things won't go on at Berrettini, let's see what the potential replacement Jannik Sinner in Nike has to offer.
The appearance of Novak Djokovic, who, also in Lacoste, can come up with white shoulders, is almost refreshing. These have then somewhat clearly differentiated themselves from the blue auditorium. And in the end a white knight rode into the arena in Turin: Stefanos Tsitsipas, who brought a lot of classy paleness to the court in an Adidas T-shirt. However: The Greek had no chance against Andrey Rublev, who of course wore a blue Nike shirt.
