A closer look at the equipment and apparel of the 17-year-old Roland Garros semifinalist.
Apparel: NikeCourt Slam Tank Top ($70) and Skirt ($85)
The fitted tank has a high neckline for maximum coverage, but is made of lightweight, textured fabric that doesn’t feel restrictive. A unique strap design in the back of the garment combines bra support with ventilation. The jacquard pattern brings elements of vibrancy and style.
Made with a stretchy, relaxed fit—including a mesh, elastic waistband—this skirt won’t get in your way even during the most aggressive movement. The moisture-wicking material keeps sweat off your body to stay dry and comfortable. And whether for a spare ball or other item, the inner shorts have drop-in pockets for extra storage.

Shoe: Nike Zoom GP Challenge 1 ($170)
With Zoom Air units in both the forefoot and heel the GP Challenge 1 is one bouncy and cushioned shoe. Stability is bolstered by a plastic midfoot plate that keeps the shoe’s structure during side-to-side movement and helps propel you into the next step, while the mesh upper has TPU webbing for extra lateral support as well.
A high-abrasion outsole provides secure traction on all surfaces, with a curve in the heel to create a rocker like motion for forward dashes inside the court. Added rubber around the toe box bolsters durability for foot-draggers. A roomy cut adds to the attractiveness for players who seek a plush, comfortable ride.
