Federer’s all-black outfit, worn during the 2007 US Open, earned him the nickname “Darth Federer” after the famous Star Wars villain, Darth Vader. The sleek, dark ensemble, complete with a matching headband, stood out not just for its style but for the aura of dominance Federer carried while wearing it.
Fans loved how the kit symbolized his ability to blend elegance with a killer instinct on the court—much like Vader’s mix of control and power in the galaxy far, far away.
