Dress Up (or Photoshop) For Topspin
Posted by Brian Ashcraft at 11:00 AM on July 5, 2008
Just a friendly reminder! We also have our Top Spin contest, which we will extend over the weekend 'cause of the three-day-weekend and wrap up early next week. Above is baconfrenzy's entry; Ben writes, "The attached file is muh entry, no laughs... well, maybe a chuckle". Here's what's going on: Wimbledon is wrapping up, and the US Open is still a few months away, but Top Spin 3 and Kotaku are bringing you the Kotaku Open. We're going to make this simple for you. Don't bother practicing your twist serve or calling up your doubles partner. All you need to do is get yourself in some tennis attire! We don't particularly care how you do it either: Steal your dad's tennis shorts from '72, Photoshop your head onto Federer's body, or maybe, just maybe you're a tennis superstar with a closet full of visors and wristbands. Send in your pictures to kotakucontestATgmailDOTcom, readers will vote for their favourite, and the winner gets a free copy of Top Spin 3 (platform of your choice!), courtesy of 2K Sports. Match point!

You know what's sad is I must have came into this topic five times at least I didn't even realize it was a white dude with his head on a black women's body. I knew it was a women, but didn't even notice the race. I assume it's one of the Williams sisters. Thanks to this reminder I got my entry in on time. Woo hoo!

That image will haunt my dreams, but then again that's not anything unusual. What if you happen to play tennis wearing only a wristband?

I've submitted my image. An hour and a half or so of photoshoppery and resource digging.
Never has tennis been so extreme.

Oddly enough, Venus Williams won Wimbledon with the exact same dress on.
