Tennis Fashion

I like the fact that Serena has shown young women that you can be successful after childbirth without starving yourself down to a size 6.

I thought both young Duchesses looked very smart and suitably dressed. I’m glad Meghan did not choose to ape Kate’s style but felt able to be different.

Serena looked very hot and uncomfortable.

And congratulations to Angelique!

Serena Williams does not look good in those long sleeved dresses with tight fitting stretchy tops . I am not sorry frilly knickers have gone

I was going to mention the special support tights and sleeves Serena has to wear because of the blood clots she suffered when she gave birth, but Gagagran has already mentioned that.

Well done, Serena for coming back so soon and for playing whilst wearing those - they can be very hot at the best of times, but I admit I was worried for her. Presumably she has had the all clear and the best of medical advice.

the thought of Megs scrubbing her trews with Persil.

oh God, I'd forgotten the frilly knickers.

That weird hovering thing they do before they hit it, in the frilly knickers.

Serena's dress looked too tight and the long sleeves looked awful.

I thought that Kate's dress suited her perfectly.

merlot, as someone who has had long hair for years I can understand Kate wanting to wear her hair down when relaxing.

Thank you Gagagran, as Serena and her sister did at one time have a fashion company I thought the dress was a new look for tennis, poor woman.

Kate looks lovely when her hair is in a bun. I wish she'd do it more often.

Serena has to wear special clothing because she has a blood clotting disorder, which nearly killed her in childbirth less than one year ago. I think she was amazing to make it to the final given that.

For me, Meghan absolutely outshines Kate, love her shirt and tied back hair, I feel Kate looks old fashioned and frumpy in comparison (though I've only seen them sitting down..)

Kate does look lovely, cool and relaxed in that dress

Williams lost, well played Angelique ?

Oh I thought we might be talking tennis dresses!
They get skimpier and skimpier each year it seems and while today’s finalists are “not guilty m’lud “ I have been getting tired of seeing nipples, belly buttons and little tummies very much showing through tight stretchy dresses.
I appreciate our heatwave may be nothing by US standards, but Serena Williams seems to go to the other extreme and if she were much more covered up, she’d be in a burka.
Whatever happened to pretty dresses and frilly knickers? Or indeed simple shorts and a top à la Billy Jean King?

When she is talking to the ball girls/boys ,the trousers are sweeping the floor.
She will need to get the Persil out when she gets home,

I was itching to straighten the back of Meghan's blouse collar

Missed the trousers!
Thought Meghan's blouse (although colour and stripes were appropriate for Wimbledon) looked a little bulky.
May have been ok when she stood up.
I will have to look on catch up later.
It is now DH's turn with the remote

Kate's dress is lovely.
