In the past, tennis has been known for its strict dress code, with players expected to wear specific outfits on the court. However, in recent years, the sport has become more relaxed and players have been allowed to wear more vibrant and eye-catching outfits. This change in the dress code has allowed players to showcase themselves on and off the court. Sabalenka’s bright pink outfit was a perfect example of this shift in the sport’s fashion sense.
