WTA amends rules regarding players’ garb

The women’s tennis tour has approved rule changes that involve seedings after a return from pregnancy. The WTA says players returning to the tour may use a “special ranking ” for up to three years from the birth of a child, and the exemption can be used for seedings at big events. The tour says it will ensure women at WTA tournaments “are not penalized or prohibited from wearing leggings or compression shorts without a skirt, dress or shorts over them.”
