Bianca Andreescu Pleads for Wardrobe Change After Nike Clothing Malfunction at US Open

As the winds at the open arena kept blowing her skirt up, seemingly affecting her performance, Bianca approached the chair umpire and request an additional bathroom break to change, via Reuters.

“Will this not count as one of my changeovers? I mean it’s not my fault, it’s Nike’s fault,” she was overheard asking.

“This dress is so, so bad… I need to go (change), this is really bad.”

She eventually returned wearing a Nike tank top and skirt, beating her competitor, and later apologizing to her sponsor Nike.

“It was just bothering me on some forehands. I just felt like it was kind of coming up a bit. Obviously the wind didn’t help,” she told reporters.

“But I meant no disrespect with what I said to the umpire. I was trying to convince him to not take away that washroom break, because I know we only get two. He was very nice to say it was totally okay. I could have definitely used a different choice of wording. So I apologize to anyone I disrespected. I love Nike and I hope I can be with them for the rest of my life!”
