Wimbledon Dress Code Faces Growing Criticism

News summary

Wimbledon's all-white dress code, officially instituted in 1962 after colored attire controversies, has drawn both admiration and criticism. The rule, originally intended to hide sweat, is celebrated by some players like Diana Shnaider for its unique atmosphere, though she notes challenges in finding compliant gear. Tennis legends such as Billie Jean King and Roger Federer have called the code overly restrictive, with King arguing it makes television viewing difficult. The policy has been controversial for its strict enforcement, particularly regarding women's undergarments, leading to a 2022 rule relaxation allowing dark undershorts for female players. Debate continues over whether the tradition is outdated, with concerns about limiting individuality and inclusivity. The ongoing discussion underscores the broader tension between tennis tradition and modern expectations.
