PARIS (Reuters) - Paris looked nothing like the fashion capital of the world for a few hours on Monday when France's Gael Monfils faced off with Czech Tomas Berdych in the first round of the French Open sporting a rather garish outfit.

Maria Sharapova lit up Roland Garros when she stepped out for her title defence in a figure-hugging optical illusion purple dress but chances are the fashion police would have given Monfils 'nil point' for his multicoloured tank top over a black and red skin-tight body suit.
