“You can uphold tradition and still move with the times. There’s no point upholding tradition just for tradition’s sake,” Holmes said. She added that one option could be allowing women to choose to wear Wimbledon’s colours of purple and green as an option for undershorts. “We think it’s the time to address those barriers for young girls getting into the sport and it starts at the top, so that’s Wimbledon. We want women to be able to focus on the tennis and on the sport and not have to worry about other factors when competing at this level.”
