It's made from a patented Dri-Fit fabric, with slits to allow for mobility, and the back is open to keep her cooler. Otherwise, it's more "Breakfast at Tiffany's" than center court. The dress has a neckline with crystal embellishment and an empire waistline with a black belt and bow.

For her daytime matches, Sharapova, who is seeded third, will wear a more classic white tennis dress.

Sharapova works with Nike to design her outfits, providing photos and commentary on her likes and dislikes. She describes her style as she does her personality — feminine and competitive.

Co-owner Edward Tricomi suggests using a cloth headband to pull hair back while playing instead of a ponytail holder, which will leave a dent. He also urges use of a leave-in conditioner to protect hair from UV rays. The heat from the sun also helps provide a deep conditioning treatment, so when you head inside, you'll have a soft, tousled look.

If you do choose a ponytail, then slick hair back first and wear the ponytail low. Wrap the hair with an elastic band. Then take the ponytail, twist it and pin it for a classic chignon, Tricomi says.

When you come off the court, shake hair loose, and use a volumizing spray at the roots.

For the face, a tinted moisturizer with SPF is a good tennis partner, says makeup artist Kristie Streicher. These lightweight and sometimes oil-free formulas can have better wearability than regular foundations, she says, and because they're sheer, they won't leave sweat lines.

Setting powder will help keep makeup from dripping and help it last longer. And, Streicher adds, waterproof mascara also means sweatproof mascara.

Between the courts and the clubhouse, dab concealer and setting powder, which will erase shine. Swipe a sheer wash of color over the lids, cheeks and lips.
