Billie Jean King would like to see the all-white uniforms at Wimbledon gone as she revealed it as one of her pet peeves.

Billie Jean King has been a groundbreaking tennis player fighting for women's sports and tennis in general. She's been a long time advocated for many things and was glad to finally see the white underwear rule go explaining that having to wear them was very uncomfortable:

"My generation, we always worried because we wore all white all the time. And it’s what you wear underneath that’s important for your menstrual period. And we’re always checking whether we’re showing. You get tense about it because the first thing we are is entertainers and you want whatever you wear to look immaculate, look great. We’re entertainers. We’re bringing it to the people."

She would also like to see the all-white kits go explaining that it makes no sense:

"Nothing is worse in sports than when you turn on the television and two players are wearing the same uniform or same outfits. It’s horrible. No one knows who’s who. This is one of my pet peeves, I’ve been yelling for years. Have you ever seen any sport where the people wear the same outfit on each side?”
