"For the girls, it's going to be such a big deal": Kasatkina delighted by Wimbledon clothing rules being changed
WTAThursday, 29 June 2023 at 12:27
Daria Kasatkina is the latest player to speak out welcoming the move from Wimbledon to allow female players to wear darker undershorts amid period concerns.
Wimbledon has employed a strict all-white dress code which saw WTA players left with anxiety about potential periods during the tournament but now these concerns have been answered.
The Russian No.1 echoed Coco Gauff who also shared the same sentiment earlier this week and said that in her case, she checked a fair bit to see if it was showing despite wearing period underwear so this now relieves that stress.
“All the girls are really happy with this decision,” said Kasatkina as per Eurosport. “Because it's one thing to deal on court with your opponent and your own stress and nerves.
“If you have additional stress of thinking about your period and stuff and whether your skirt will get dirty, it’s additional stress which you don’t want to think about.
“Finally we’ve got this little adjustment and I don’t think it's going to hurt the tournament but for the players, for us, for the girls, it’s going to be such a big deal.”
