Wimbledon It has always been characterized by being very strict with its rules and traditions. The British tournament seeks to maintain the essence of classic tennis and has barely introduced changes throughout its history. However, after listening to different voices from the female circuit, has decided to allow women to compete in a dark colored garment under the skirts or competition pants, to avoid suffering stress or fear when competing with the period. This is a relief for many players.
Within its dress code policy that prohibits competing in mostly non-white clothing, Wimbledon banned female players from wearing colored underwear starting in 2014a rule that has now been suppressed due to the complaint of tennis players and extenuators such as Billie Jean King o Judy Murray (mother of Andy Murray).
Sally Boltonthe first chief executive of the All England Club, assured that they are committed to supporting all players and listening to their opinions so that they can «compete at the highest level».
«From next year, both the players and the juniors who compete in Wimbledon will have the option to wear colored clothing under their pants or skirts if they so choose. It is our hope that this adjustment to this rule will help players focus solely on their performance on the pitch, taking potential heartbreak off their minds,” Bolton added.
