Daria Kasatkina shares how WTA players reacted to Wimbledon change to underwear rules

World No 11 Daria Kasatkina reveals Wimbledon’s underwear policy change has made “happy all the girls” in the locker room. After Wimbledon received criticism for their all-white clothing policy and the trauma it could cause if a female player noticed a trace of blood on her underwear, the tournament organizers made a change.Starting from this year’s Wimbledon edition, WTA players will be allowed to wear colored underwear.

Now that the change has been made, Kasatkina says one additional stress is gone. “All the girls are really happy with this decision 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 if 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,” Kasatkina said, via Sportskeeda.
