Fashion vs Tradition: The history of Wimbledon's all-white controversies
Wimbledon 's all-white dress code, a symbol of its storied tradition, has long stirred controversy. Originally a preference in the 1870s to hide sweat - which was then seen as improper - the all-white attire became mandatory only in 1963. The shift came after Brazil's Maria Bueno wore a colorful outfit in 1962, prompting officials to formalize the rule from the next edition. As the only Grand Slam enforcing an all-white requirement, Wimbledon faces ongoing criticism for its strictness and outdated approach, even as it clings to its heritage.

See Why Australia Residents Are Trying This AI Method TApp Read Now Undo Tennis icon Andre Agassi famously boycotted the tournament from 1988 to 1990 over its rigid dress rules, before returning to win in 1992. Roger Federer drew attention in 2013 for wearing white shoes with orange soles - quickly banned by officials. In 2014, Wimbledon tightened its rules further, mandating even visible undergarments be white. Venus Williams was asked to change a pink bra mid-match in 2017, and Nick Kyrgios flouted the code in 2022 with red Air Jordans. Live Events ALSO READ - Wimbledon 2025: Total prize money, live streaming, seedings - All you need to know In 2023, Wimbledon relaxed its strict dress code, permitting female players to wear darker-colored shorts under their white skirts. The change came in response to growing concerns from players about the discomfort of wearing white during their menstrual cycle. Yet enforcement remains strict - Ons Jabeur was sent back to the locker room in 2024 for wearing black during warm-up. For some, the dress code preserves Wimbledon's tradition; for others, it's an outdated restriction. The debate between fashion freedom and tradition rolls on. ALL ENGLAND CLUB RULES FOR CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT Competitors must be dressed in suitable tennis attire that is almost entirely white and this applies from the point at which the player enters the court surround. White does not include off white or cream. There should be no solid mass or panel of colouring. A single trim of colour around the neckline and around the cuff of the sleeves is acceptable but must be no wider than one centimetre (10mm). Colour contained within patterns will be measured as if it is a solid mass of colour and should be within the one centimetre (10mm) guide. Logos formed by variations of material or patterns are not acceptable. Shorts, skirts and tracksuit bottoms must be completely white except for a single trim of colour down the outside seam no wider than one centimetre (10mm). Caps (including the underbill), headbands, bandanas, wristbands and socks must be completely white except for a single trim of colour no wider than one centimetre (10mm). Shoes must be almost entirely white. Soles and laces must be completely white. Large manufacturers' logos are not encouraged. The grass court shoes must adhere to the Grand Slam rules. In particular shoes with pimples around the outside of the toes shall not be permitted. The foxing around the toes must be smooth. Any undergarments that either are or can be visible during play (including due to perspiration) must also be completely white except for a single trim of colour no wider than one centimetre (10mm), except female players who are allowed to wear solid, mid/dark-coloured undershorts provided they are no longer than their shorts or skirt. Medical supports and equipment should be white if possible but may be colored if absolutely necessary.

Wimbledon 2025: Oliver Tarvet, who lost to Carlos Alcaraz, earns Rs 1.15 crore prize money but can't use any of it - here's why
Britain's Oliver Tarvet celebrates winning his match against Switzerland's Leandro Riedi in the first round of the men's singles at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships. (PA via AP) Great Britain's Oliver Tarvet, ranked 733rd in the world, faced World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz in the second round at Wimbledon 2025, losing 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 on Wednesday while declaring it the most special day of his life despite having no immediate plans to turn professional. Tarvet, playing in only his second main draw Grand Slam match, put up a spirited performance against the five-time Grand Slam champion on Centre Court. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The 21-year-old US college student managed to challenge Alcaraz, who remains on course for his third consecutive Wimbledon title. "It's not every day that you get to play against maybe the best player in the world. I did a pretty good job of kind of enjoying the moment and trying to also play some good tennis at the same time," Tarvet said. "I woke up a couple times in the night from the adrenaline. In the car, my heart rate was going quicker than it usually does. Obviously there were nerves. I kind of knew that the first set might be difficult because it's not a stage that I'm used to. I still had break points in three games. I definitely had chances." Tarvet had eight unconverted break points in the first set before successfully breaking early in the second set, celebrating with a finger waggle to the delighted crowd. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Rates Undo Alcaraz immediately broke back, demonstrating the gap between their skill levels. "Credit to him, he plays the big points just incredibly well. That's the difference. You kind of feel like you're in the set, you lose it 6-1, it's tough. But even though it was not the result that I wanted today, it was definitely the most special day of my life," Tarvet said. How much prize money did Tarvet earn? Oliver Tarvet returns the ball to Carlos Alcaraz in his second round men's singles match at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London. (AP) Despite earning £99,000 (Rs 1.15 crore) for reaching the second round, Tarvet cannot collect much of it due to amateur rules as a US college student in San Diego. He joked he would travel on a private jet back to the US. "No, I mean, nothing has changed based on the last 10 days. I still want to go back to the University of San Diego. I have a lot of personal goals that I still haven't achieved as a team at USD. As much as I have professional goals, college has been such a big part of my career, part of my life. There's definitely some things that I want to achieve before I go full-time." Reflecting on his tournament experience, Tarvet shared his insights. "Most about myself is just how powerful the mind is. I feel statistically or on paper, I wasn't supposed to win some of the matches that I won, but I backed myself against those guys. I just realised there's a lot of power in kind of having that confidence in yourself." Alcaraz, currently on a 20-match winning streak after victories in Rome, French Open, and Queen's Club, praised his opponent's performance. "I told him just congratulations for the run, keep it going, keep working hard. It seems like he's a really nice guy and a really nice, hard worker. It seems like he loves tennis. He played with such a good passion out there, that is really important. If he keeps practising hard and playing in a professional level, I think he can go far."

Clayton Kershaw passes 3,000 strikeouts: Dodgers beat White Sox with late comeback
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw (22) tips his cap after recording his 3,000th career strike out by striking out Chicago White Sox's Vinny Capra during the sixth inning of a baseball game in Los Angeles. (AP Photo/Kevork Djansezian) Clayton Kershaw needed three punch-outs on Wednesday night. He got them and entered baseball's most exclusive club. The 37-year-old sat down Chicago infielder Vinny Capra in the sixth inning, recording career strikeout number 3,000 and becoming only the twentieth pitcher, and the fourth left-hander, to reach that mark. Kershaw did it on his 100th pitch of the game, a tight slider that froze Capra. The Dodger Stadium crowd rose, teammates hugged him on the grass, and Kershaw tipped his cap before walking off to a standing ovation. The milestone is rare for another reason. Kershaw is just the third pitcher to strike out 3,000 hitters while spending his entire career with one team, joining Walter Johnson and Bob Gibson. According to Elias Sports Bureau numbers, he reached the mark in 2,787 ⅓ innings, the fourth-fastest pace in Major League history. Game turned in the ninth Los Angeles still trailed 4-2 when Kershaw left. The bats rescued the night with a three-run surge in the ninth. Shohei Ohtani's grounder tied the game, and Freddie Freeman drilled a single to right to score the winner. Final score: Dodgers 5, White Sox 4. What the milestone means Kershaw already owns three Cy Young Awards, an MVP trophy and a World Series ring. The 3,000-strikeout line fills one of the few blank spaces on his résumé. His next targets are 200 wins—he sits at 208—and a fourth trip to October glory. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 11 pensioenblunders om te overwegen wanneer u stopt met werken Fisher Investments Nederland Meer informatie Undo Manager Dave Roberts said he plans to keep Kershaw on a cautious workload as the Dodgers chase another division title.
