“I just loved what they wore,” Aiava said of Sharapova, Ivanovic and Serena Williams.<\/p>\n
“I think some of the stuff that is being designed is quite ugly. I just like to wear what I think looks good. I don’t like wearing the same thing as everyone else.”<\/p>\n
Aiava, who wants to pursue a degree in fashion design, will face Belgium’s Greet Minnen in the first round of the Melbourne major, which starts on Sunday.<\/p>\n
“I didn’t really think it would make any impact at all, me wearing the dresses. But I’m glad I did. Yeah, it’s been fun bringing them back,” she added.<\/p>\n
“I think even if you lose, it’s still kind of a fashion runway when you’re on the court.”<\/p>\n
Despite wanting to secure a sponsorship deal with a sportswear brand, Aiava is enjoying the benefits of not currently having a sponsor.<\/p>\n
“I am hoping to get a sponsor. I’ll probably have to put up with wearing the same thing as other people,” she said.<\/p>\n
“But, for now I’m loving picking whatever I want to wear and buying whatever I want.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
