“Come on, bears!”the cry that went down from the stand of Guillermo Vilas in the doubles final of Argentina Open. The phrase is addressed in the duo consisting of Nicolas Barrientos and Ariel Beharthat despite losing 6-2 and 6-4 against the Italians Bolelli-Fognini, They brought a smile to some fans who enjoyed their tennis all week.
Even though this Sunday was a loss, the Colombian and the Uruguayan had a good week in the BALTC, as the victory against the Argentines González-Molteni brought them to the final. But beyond his great level of tennis, Barrientos and Behar got everyone’s attention for the outfits they wore during the contest.
Referring to the match, they were surprised to share a white set (which they changed to black for the second set) with large cartoon of a pink teddy bear wearing a crown. In previous encounters, they wore T-shirts an octopus and the inevitable proof that he is the king.
Why Barrientos and Behar wear weird shirts in their matches
The Barrientos and Behar thing is out of the question from this tournament, but it will come up soon, like at the Australian Open. There, they used one with the faces of several aliens and their respective crowns. Yes, tennis stopped being a “white sport” a long time ago.
The Uruguayan Ariel Behar always attracts attention for her clothesand with this came this fashion: was designed by his wife, Sabrina Sielicki. Before, Ariel was a “grey man”until “My wife made me here”he assured earlier. Lala Sportswear Sabrina’s brand started focusing on other types of clothing, but five years ago she was encouraged by sportswear and designing for her partner, who was her boyfriend at the time and had no sponsors. “It started as a joke and became my job”Sielecki assured himself, putting Ariel to use a t-shirt with Superman on the front.
