NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Wimbledon is to finally relax its dress code for female players following protests at this year’s Championships in relation to periods.
The All England Club currently bans women tennis stars from wearing coloured underwear due to long standing traditions and usually enforces an all-white rule.
But according to reports, Wimbledon will modernise in 2023 to take into account the issues some female players may have with their menstrual cycles.
Players will still be required to wear all-white clothes on top but allowing coloured underwear is landmark moment for the women’s game and follows protests at this year’s Championships by a group of campaigners over the issue.
