Professional tennis players almost never wear sunglasses. They slow down
your reaction time a bit. Zvereva is one notable exception, and I think
she just wears them because she wants to look cool.
By the way, I nearly always wear sunglasses when I play tennis.

And how do they help you? I'd suspect that the sunglasses reduces the
glare a little bit but it also affects visibility and therefore your
ability to keep track of the ball.
I do wear glasses otherwise but take them off when I play - one eye is
near-sighted and the other, far-sighted.

I just can't stand looking into the bright sun. I'm not playing for
hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Actually, Oakleys are really good. Their optics are excellent. Natasha wears
them because she has bad eyes. She wears glasses indoors because it hinders her
eyesite when she doesn't. I, personally, have to wear oakleys when i play in
the sun. my eyes can't handle the bright lights anymore. also, i wear
contacts.. so when it's windy... the glasses block anything that could get into
my eye.

Really? Is it a local dress code violation or somesuch?

Agreed. For the highest level you need every advantage of sight.
However, I've seen pictures of Drobny with a medium tint in his glasses
He was the '54 Wimbledon champ and runner-up twice.

No natasha wears oakleys.. check out www.oakley.com ... check out all the
athletes that wear oakleys.. including baseball players.. they have to track
hard balls also. oakleys are the best in terms of optics and precision for
sunglasses. bolle is endorsed by hingis.. but she never wears them.

Me too! ŠAOL 1995.
Since the latest research has shown that long-term exposure to
Ultra-Violet radiation (UVA I think) is a major cause of cataracts in
the eye, *everybody* should wear sunglasses (or at least UV-blocking
clear lenses) whenever they are out in the sun.

Meredith McGrath was one of the other players who usually wore
sunglasses, a shame too because she had such pretty eyes. She always
wore those cool wrap arounds too, wonder if she had an endorsement?>>
Yeah she did/does... Oakley
Synapse Man
are supposed to be made specifically for tennis.
