Iveta Benesova was forced to change her shorts after the referee asked her to do so. The umpire said that the ones she was wearing were too short.
Oh c'mon! It's unfair.
Fortunately, Benesova won a first round match in Estoril Open and andvanced to the second round. Maybe in the next round the umpire will be more tolerant and allow her to look like this.
Tennis is a game played between two players or between two teams of two players. Players use a stringed racquet to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt (most of the time of bright yellow colour) over a net into the opponent's court.
The game originated in Europe in the late 19th century as "lawn tennis", but its roots go back to the ancient racquet sport of "real tennis", which itself evolved from an earlier ball game played around the 12th century in France.
The term "tennis" derives from the French word tenez, which means "take it" — a warning from the server to the receiver.
