‘It’s so unfair’ – Emma Raducanu ‘enraging’ Wimbledon members by breaking long-standing All England Club rule

Emma Raducanu has reportedly angered Wimbledon members by violating the club’s strict all-white dress code. The 22-year-old, who regularly trains at the All England Club while in London, was seen wearing a pink outfit during recent practice sessions, according to the *Daily Mail*. This has sparked frustration among fellow members, who believe the rule should apply to all players equally.

Wimbledon’s dress code, in place for 150 years, requires players to wear “suitable tennis attire that is almost entirely white.” While minor trims are permitted, large colored sections are strictly prohibited. Some members expressed their displeasure, questioning why Raducanu was allowed to break a rule that even legends like Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic had to follow.

This controversy follows past incidents where top players faced consequences for similar infractions. Federer was forced to change his orange-soled shoes in 2013, while Nick Kyrgios was fined for wearing red accessories in 2022. Raducanu has not yet responded to the criticism, but the issue adds to the scrutiny surrounding her career, especially after recent security concerns at the Dubai Open.
