Wimbledon rules Tatiana Golovin may wear red underwear

Wimbledon has ruled Tatiana Golovin can wear red panties when playing in the tournament, as this do not violate the existing “predominantly white rule” attire.

Golovin went to court last week to contest a referee who found her in violation of the ”predominantly white” dress code when she wore her now famous red underwear during a game. He wore the red underwear to court, and showed them to the judge.

A Wimbledon spokesperson said Golovin’s red panties were cleared with the referee in advance, and since they are underwear, “they do not need to conform to the predominantly white rule.” Wimbledon considers an apparel to be underwear and not shorts if they are above the hemline.
