Fashion at Wimbledon spells disaster

October 9th, 2011 by Lucas Pattison | Print

Wimbledon is a British tradition with the strawberries and cream relished by all and the all-whites dress code maintained by players from around the world. Many tennis players have in the past brought fashion to the courts in other Grand Slam events with Andre Agassi being probably the first among them. When it came to Wimbledon championships though, the players always stuck to traditional whites.

This now seems to be challenged by the talented Williams sisters whose clothes are spoken about almost as much as their tennis. Take away the focus from their ghastly on-court fashion sense and these two are undoubtedly among the best women players ever. So the big question is whether they like to make a statement with their clothes. An even bigger question should be whether their clothes affect their game or even the opponent’s game.

While the pretty frocks of the seventies and eighties did not affect the game for power-packed Martina Navratilova or Steffi Graf they were mostly plain and practical. Serena sporting skin-coloured shorts at the Australian Open and even sheer shorts with a Moulin Rouge-themed dress at Roland Garros last year is definitely begging for headlines. There is nothing practical or sporting about these garments. Meanwhile, 31-year-old Venus will have to watch out for her clothes speaking louder than her tennis, which could be disastrous for this top player. She barely squeaked through her match with 40-year-old Kimiko Date in an event that should have been the highlight of this year, but was over shadowed by the flapping sleeves of her outfit. For a change though, Serena who came back from an injury kept a low profile on Day 2 as she began her quest for her fifth trophy here.

The tennis players at Wimbledon may or may not keep to the dress code but Wink Bingo players will certainly find the five WIMBY-themed bonus codes useful. Depositing £10 to £100 once on each day from Thursday 23rd till Monday 27th June with these codes will fetch extra bonuses for playing in the exciting weekend promotions.
