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

At Wimbledon 2023, Jelena Ostapenko faced a dress code query from umpire Jamie Crowson while warming up for a doubles match, revealing green undershorts in compliance.
This occurred under Wimbledon's strict all-white dress code, which was updated ahead of the 2023 tournament after consultations with players and stakeholders.
Ostapenko, a 28-year-old 2017 French Open champion who defeated Simona Halep 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, was eliminated early in women's singles this year by Sonay Kartal.
Sally Bolton, Chief Executive of the All England Club, emphasized their dedication to considering player input to help them compete at their highest level while announcing the updated rule.
Starting in the upcoming tournament, female participants at The Championships will be allowed to wear coloured undershorts if they wish, with the goal of reducing stress and enabling greater focus on their game.
