Karen Khachanov breaches ‘predominantly white’ clothing rule
There was an egregious breach of Wimbledon’s ‘predominantly white’ clothing rule on Court No 1 on Wednesday when it was discovered, at the end of the first set, that the underside of the peak of Karen Khachanov’s cap was black.
He wears it backwards so the offending area was practically invisible but that is not the point, apparently.
He changed it to an all-white number, the match continued and somehow the All England Club remained standing.
‘There was a little bit of black colour inside the hat,’ said the Russian after his five-set defeat to Denis Shapovalov.
