Time we dress to impress on court
NICK KYRGIOS would rather wear all black at Wimbledon instead of adhering to the all-white dress code.
The Aussie reckons the Grand Slam is out of tune with what looks “cool” on court.
Ahead of his first round match against British wildcard Paul Jubb tomorrow, Kyrgios said: “I always want to wear all black, obviously.
“But I don’t think it’s something that’s going to change. It would be cool to allow like a black headband or black sweatband.
“It would look cool. Obviously Wimbledon doesn’t really care what looks cool.”
But the prestige associated with Wimbledon was still enough to lure Kyrgios to compete despite the lack of ranking points.
He added: “When I’m sitting with my kids in the future I’m not going to be proud to say I played a challenger instead of Wimbledon.
“I will choose to play Wimbledon every day of the week.”
