Her 'flowery' dress too has attracted admirers and critics but either way, has become a hot topic of discussion.

World number 2 Victoria Azarenka also chose to wear a more conventional tennis dress. Some however felt her skirt was just a bit too baggy, even by NYC standards.

Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki too, much like Ivanovic, has eyes more on her fashion than her play.

Although knocked out of US Open, the former world number 1 opted for a mix-n-match dress which sported dark and light blue apart from that wierd 'superman-like' black V shaped design in the middle.

Polish Agnieszka Radwanska however should have shared some tips with Wozniacki since she seems to have gotten it just right...

...even if she herself got knocked out in the fourth round!
