But the real battle wasn't the intense back-and-forth on the grass court, but the off-court fashion duel. Following the match, the 46th-ranked Dulko was told she had replaced her opponent as the new "Wimbledon darling."

I have six pinnacle outfits a year, with four of them showcased at the Grand Slams," she told The Times. “Under the floodlights, the Centre Court becomes my own catwalk.”But while she's been stylin’ in her Nike duds, her 24-year-old Argentine competitor, who's nearly a head shorter than Sharapova at 5-foot-7, is clearly challenging her fashionista title.

At Wednesday’s match, Dulko, outfitted by Lacoste, wore a figure-hugging dress with slits on the skirt that revealed boy shorts underneath. Meanwhile, Sharapova, clad per usual in Nike, wore a dress with off-white criss-cross detailing and a flared skirt that swirled toward her hips as she swung her racket.
