GQ has a totally fun slideshow of the 25 Most Stylist Men in tennis HERE. They had me at their reason for picking John Newcombe -- "one word: handlebar" -- but here are some other picks whose style I've always admired:
"Big" Bill Tilden: Gotta look your best when soliciting 14-year-old boys
Feliciano Lopez: Can you blame Andy Murray's mom for making such a fool out of herself?
Rene Lacoste: That "crocodile" on your shirt comes from his nickname -- so-called because of his ferocious playing style -- yet every kid at Dobson High insisted on calling it an "alligator"
Patrick Rafter: Swoon
Frank Shields: When you're related to the pretty baby, of course you're gonna be pretty, baby
Roger Federer: He got more stylist as his game began to falter
Adriano Panatta: Best remembered as the only player to defeat Bjorn Borg at Roland Garros, this Italian was also easy on the eyes
Bjorn Borg: Those shorts, those shorts

Patrick Rafter is why I got into tennis. My father would always watch the US Open when I was a kid, but before Patrick Rafter, I just saw it in passing.
