ATP tennis stars Roger Federer (Switzerland), Andy Murray (Great Britain) and Tomas Berdych (Czech Republic) made it to the list of GQ’s 20 Most Stylish Athletes of 2013.
“There’s now a full-blown style revolution happening in the world of sports. The resulting crop of sharp-suited athletes are challenging even the savviest Hollywood A-listers and sidewalk peacocks for the title of best-dressed celebrities on the planet. Here, we present 20 ballers who constitute the cream of the crop,” the magazine wrote on its introduction.
Federer is ranked 7th, Murray in 18th place while Berdych made it as number 20. The number one on the list was Miami Heat player LeBron James.
“Federer favours subdued colours and simple menswear mixes, usually anchored by a crisp white shirt, and the timeless kits are what separate him from athlete pack. Even his white Nike-sponsored uniform, with interlocking gold initials, looks more like luxury menswear than any performance piece in play,” the magazine wrote.
“Murray proved himself a pro by lending a sense of cool to a sport that once seemed all too classist,” GQ wrote. “After reclaiming Wimbledon in the name of the Kingdom, he went on to further victory in trim fitting suits and narrow ties. With his ever-present stubble and tousled just-so hair, he may not be the most refined guy on the court, but this is what makes him stand out from the manufactured handsomeness of his competitors.”
