Tennis star blasts Nike outfit during US Open meltdown (VIDEO)

Bianca Andreescu suffered a crisis during her match against Harmony Tan

Canadian tennis starlet Bianca Andreescu was unhappy with sponsor Nike after publicly slamming the outfit it designed for her US Open campaign.

The 22-year-old won the women's singles title at Flushing Meadows in 2019 and began her quest to reclaim the crown by meeting Harmony Tan in the first round on Monday.

Playing on the Grandstand court, Andreescu donned a navy blue skirt from Nike that kept being blown around by the wind, causing her to complain to the umpire despite clinching the first set 6-0.

"Will this not count as one of my changeovers? I mean it's not my fault, it's Nike's fault," she explained to the official.

"This dress is so, so bad... I need to go (change), this is really bad," she protested, with her request granted.
