Could a male pro play with full length pants?

[Disputaciones]

Or are shorts absolutely mandatory, no exceptions?

If full length pants were forbidden I'd be surprised because this is how they used to play before after all.

Agassi wore a blue warm up sweatpants against Ivan Lendl at a 1989 tournament in Forest Hills, NY.

Worth checking out on YouTube.

He took them off a couple of games later though. Wonder if they only allowed it because he wore them to warm up.

I am sure it's only a matter of time before Nick or Milos turn up to a match like this

Look at Nadal and his capri pants, from his younger days. Then ask yourself what the difference is for playing between them and pants that are full length.

How's the wife, Don Draper?

I think that 7-10 years ago there was some event in March at which they played during the night with temperatures around 10-15 celsius and the players were allowed to play with full lengt pants. Maybe even Nadal was in that match but not sure about this.

we (briefly) had this in 1985:

but yours is better: it would hide kyrgios' terrible "haircut".

I'm sure there's no rule. It's a mobility issue. I can tell you even the most comfortable track pants get uncomfortable later on in games.

 

[roxon]

agassi was the last man to play in pants

Federer warmed up in full pants. Maybe he would play on if it was allowed

 

[Tennis_Hands]

Expertly tailored pants go a long way.

But:

- too hot
- lack of "exposed athleticism"
- impression that the sport is going backward

What was up with Fed and that outfit? Was it part of being a spokesman for one of the products he endorses?

 

[ollinger]

Leif Shiras showed up a few decades ago to play his match at Wimbledon in an old style outfit with full length long pants, and was permitted to play.

 

[LttlElvis]

Trey Waltke played a couple of rounds in pants and rolled up sleeves in Wimbledon '83

I'm pretty sure it's not forbidden. Why would it be? I remember Medvedev playing in pants when it was unseasonably cold.

and how about skirts ?... are they technically allowed to play in skirt ?

Lendl tossed aside Johan Kriek like a rag doll wearing pants.... 6-2,6-1,6-0 and it was in the semi's of a slam!?!?!?.... 1986 French Open

ps: Even Kriek wore a jacket during the match ...LOL!

 

[Technology Ruined Tennis]

Fitting that this is brought up on the day that Big Bill Tilden's seemingly unbreakable, "10 finals at one slam," record is tied.

 

[Tenez!]

Everyone wears pants, thank goodness. What they don't wear is trousers.

 

[Atherton2003]

I wouldn't mind some of them playing with no pants.

Haha. Old game looks like slow motion. I thought it was an Efferdent Champions Tour match until they zoomed in on Dracula in pants die weltmarke mit den 3 streifen.

Love the coach smoking too. Boom Boom should spark up a Camel in Djokers box during the final.

It would be cool if they'd do an exo at W with the t-shirt, pants look, wood racquets, white balls.
