La Borz in Istanbul and Rogers Cup 2014

 

Akgul Amanmuradova is the queen of shorts

 

Venus in 2011 Wimbledon:

Martha in 2008 Wimbledon:

 

Doesn't Bethanie wear shorts too?

Shorts do not suit Azarenka one bit.

 

Sevastova?

 

The unfortunate Yonex shorts:

In the past, she wore shorts on occasion as well.

I like shorts for tennis, but not the ones Vika has worn lately (unflattering) or those horrible Golovin ones (bunched up, hanging off the...). However, I always wore a dress, though. Jo Durie said she doesn't like shorts, preferring classic tennis dress outfits.

 

Jennifer Elie

 

Classic.

 

Hantuchova and Myskina looked hot as hell back in 2006 at the AO.

Carla, Sam and Sara probably never wear a skirt outside of the tennis courts, it's a bit silly. They won't grow back back hair and testicles if they wear shorts.

 

Hantuchova and Myskina looked hot as hell back in 2006 at the AO.

That outfit is an all-time classic.

Arguably the best we've seen in the past 10 years.

 

Wtf?

 

It's a bit silly to force women to wear skirts for the matches. They all practice in shorts which is very telling.

 

wore shorts the best IMO

 

Queen V when transitioning out of Reebok

 

Akgul Amanmuradova

 

She looks good there. I miss her on the tour playing her unique style of tennis, shame about the injuries so she can't play her best anymore.

 

Nigina Abduraimova

 

Unforgettable BMS...

 

Flipkens
Shvedova?

 

Her best outfit ever IMO, she should wear it more. Looked good on Myskina too.

 

yep the empress >>

Zheng Jie and Yan Zi

Li Na

 

Damn, I'm so jealous that you created this thread.

I had the idea of creating it I guess this month or the other. Then I just forgot it.

Subscribing anyway... and

 

Alice Marble

 

Marble greatly contributed to the desegregation of American tennis by writing an editorial in support of Althea Gibson for the July 1, 1950, issue of American Lawn Tennis Magazine.

The article read, in part, "Miss Gibson is over a very cunningly wrought barrel, and I can only hope to loosen a few of its staves with one lone opinion. If tennis is a game for ladies and gentlemen, it's also time we acted a little more like gentle-people and less like sanctimonious hypocrites.... If Althea Gibson represents a challenge to the present crop of women players, it's only fair that they should meet that challenge on the courts."

Marble said that, if Gibson were not given the opportunity to compete, "then there is an ineradicable mark against a game to which I have devoted most of my life, and I would be bitterly ashamed." Gibson, age 23, was given entry into the 1950 U.S. Championships, becoming the first African-American player, man or woman, to compete in a Grand Slam event.

interesting

 

How has no one mentioned Dementieva yet?? She could rock a pair of short shorts.

Her and Myskina were a perfect duo. I remember watching them win matches at the 05 US Open back 2 back on Court 11...glory days!

Dementieva wore shorts at the 2004 US Open final. I couldn't find a better non getty photo than this:

 

Erakovic is shorts

 

Mini-Govortsova

Poor Azarenka isn't even original. And @ 0:54 you can see her nickname

 

i prefer shorts

 

Women's players wearing shorts doesn't seem to happen very much.

I think it would help (a lot) to add "during matches" to the title. There are already some posting pics of practice and off-court events. And I think we all know almost every player wears shorts during practice.
