In traditional competition there are still rules that particularly affect women. For example, when giving the score the judges mention the players with a surname, but before the surname of the tennis players always have to put Miss or Mrs (lady or lady), because it seems essential to remember at all times whether the player is married or not.

But the strict rule that forces tennis players to wear white in all its glory affects both men and women, and was created by pure classism. When the competition was created, tennis was a sport for high class and white was a color for high class. Since workers were at all times at risk of getting dirty with dirt, oil or sweat, wearing white was not practical. When they did tennis, the rich also saved, but they had money to wash their clothes and buy all the white clothes they wanted. Thus, the club he created in Wimbledo wanted to make a clear distinction between elites and vulgo when he established a strict clothing code.

In 1949, American tennis player Gussie Moran (1923-2013) set up a pair of panties with non-white ends under the white skirt. Photographers took advantage of any movement of the tennis player to take out and publish photos with panties. The scandal also came to the English parliament and Wimbledon defined the rules: women could not wear panties with tips or colors or panties. Moran later acknowledged that “it affected me, emotionally I could not manage it.”

Since then, women have asked for the constant suspension of this standard, arguing that the risk of wetting the upper arm due to menstruation causes them stress and can cause a drop in performance. In the end, in 2023, they just got permission to put on dark panties, but they add the nuance that inner pants can't be longer than the skirt so they don't look when they're standing. Behind the “liberating” measure, as if they wanted to convey to women a message of excessive non-mobility.
