First-round winner Aiava impresses in Melbourne with a new vintage outfit

The story continues for Destanee Aiava, ranked 195th in the WTA rankings, who won her 1st round match in Melbourne.

The 24-year-old Australian, who came through the qualifying rounds, made a name for herself last week thanks to the vintage outfits she wore during her three matches.

Currently without a sponsor, she explained that she buys her own outfits online, trying to find rare gems.

Facing Greet Minnen on Monday, Aiava came through in three tight sets (5-7, 7-5, 7-6) and three hours of play to win the first Grand Slam match of her career.

But beyond her victory, she left a lasting impression on fans thanks to a new outfit unearthed on the Internet, as she wore a dress previously used by Caroline Wozniacki.

This outfit had been made by Adidas, in collaboration with luxury brand Stella McCartney, for the 2013 US Open (see photo below).

In the 2nd round, Destanee Aiava will face Danielle Collins, with, who knows, a new vintage outfit bought at the last minute.
