They should just make them all wear shorts. Playing tennis in a dress is retarded. This is no longer the 1800s.
I also agree.

And not just for Wimbledon.

A dress looks so uncomfortable. Shorts look more conducive to movement. Plus there's less of a risk of someone taking creepy upskirt photos.

having never worn a dress or a skirt I can't say whether it is comfy or not...

but honestly, it looks just as comfy as shorts.

This change is not about the shorts as it is the color of the undershorts.


Wimbledon, after protests during the 2022 event, is relaxing its requirement for all-white clothing to allow female players to wear "mid/dark-colored undershorts" to be more comfortable on their periods.

Maybe ....but this change does make a lot of sense and allows women to play with a little less anxiety

that's fine by me.

I have absolutely no input on it.

I don't agree with @Old Lion wanting them all to play in shorts though. That's dumb.
