On Sunday, she unveiled a new look: Stars and Stripes socks, with matching headband and wristband, in the mixed doubles final where she and Jack Sock beat fellow Americans Venus Williams and Rajeev Ram.
"Those have been in the suitcase a long time. I actually wore them at the US Open a couple of years ago. It was a last-minute pack," Mattek-Sands explained.
