The Worries of Wimbledon

I am not much of a sports fan. The only time I have been affected by WImbledon was in Primary school when we would return home to find that Bernard's Watch, or something equally wonderful had been replaced by a green square of grass on the television. We longed for Wimbledon to end to get CBBC back.

My ears did prick up at the mention of Maria Sharapova though. It seems that this year she has abandoned her cutesy skirt/dress and is wearing a masculine, menswear inspired kit with tailored tuxedo and shorts.
This is her 'warm up outfit'



I don't understand what the fuss is all about. The tailored tuxedo is smarter than the average court outfit, and is it really that shocking for a woman to wear shorts rather than a skirt in 2008?

In the Metro Amanda Holden (Britain's Got Talent Judge and ex of Les family fortunes Dennis?) was quoted as saying;
'women should wear feminine kits. They may play like men but they should dress like ladies'

Does my memory deceive me or was it only yesterday, in the very same paper (thanks Bethnal Green distribution) that this Holden character was photographed in a tennis kit with her bum cheek hanging out, grinning like a goon? How lady like.
