The story behind the look

For doubles in New York, Mattek paired a leopard halter top with matching shorts. A long black ruched section interrupted the print through the waist, while black binding outlined the garments.

Leopard had already appeared in her 2004 US Open wardrobe; this entry records the distinct 2007 outfit. Her matching headband completed the historical styling, while the reconstruction concentrates on the garments. The rear view is inferred.
