Top-ranked Canadian Peter Polansky showed off some great moves last night during his match against Austria’s Jurgen Melzer of Austria during the Rogers Cup in Toronto. He also showed off what looked to us like Silly Bandz on his left wrist.
The craze that’s gone global has also, apparently, become popular with the tennis pros as well. And it looks like Polansky’s wearing numerous Silly Bandz. We wonder what shapes they are.
*The 22-year-old Polansky upset Melzer 7-6, 6-4.
Update, 8/10/10 10:22 a.m.: Polansky confirmed to us exclusively via Twitter that he was, in fact, wearing Silly Bandz. His shapes of choice were Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.
