why can't wimbledon be played with coloured clothing ...if other grand slams played?

Answer 1

Lets see it with a scientific view.We all know white is the best in reflecting sunlight.When a player is doing 2-3 hours in the afternoon,he is bound to get tired and if he is in black,he would tire early,injure often.So based on player's welfare white is the best.
Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament and has a long tradition.They have also withdrew some keeping with time like you dont need to bow to a royal when you receive the trophy.
Maybe we will see a change in players' outfits when the matches are played under a roof n lights.Anyone for "No clothes at all" campaign.how wonderful that would be.

Answer 6

i saw this Q twice n two contrasting views came 2 my mind. i m just opening my heart out(if views came in mind, why m i opening heart....hi hi hi).
1. it is d rrespect to the customs, traditions, culture which has evolved of ages which glorifies wimbledon, it is what which makes it different from rest n thats why its called mecca of tennis.
2. it is where british get a feel of supremacy that they have their say.else every time they r following america. it is where they get a feel of imperial days n feel proud.
so it is not just a dress, but a symbol of their attitude which is hidden somewhere in their mind that they r still supreme n by continuing so, by not listening to anyone they derive a sense of pleasure. its simple psychology man.

tennis was first a all white-n-green game. they opposed black for long but it did enter. then came aggasi with certain bit of colours.
watch out for d day when it too will b as colourfull as our holi.
