Wimbledon Star Lifts up Skirt to Make Point During Dress Code Row with Umpire - Liverpool Echo

Jelena Ostapenko lifted her skirt to show green undershorts during a dispute with umpire Jamie Crowson before a doubles match, complying with Wimbledon's dress code.
Wimbledon changed its dress code in 2023 to allow female players to wear dark undershorts to alleviate anxiety related to menstruation.
Ostapenko and her partner Hsieh Su-wei won their match against Marta Kostyuk and Elena-Gabriela Ruse, and will face Ekaterina Alexandrova and Zhang Shuai next.
Sally Bolton, Chief Executive of the All England Club, stated that the dress code change aims to support players' performance by addressing their concerns.
