Berrettini's 'Brownish' Wimbledon Outfit Denied by Club

Matteo Berrettini faced a dress code violation at Wimbledon, with officials rejecting his Hugo Boss outfit for not adhering to the tournament's strict all-white policy. The former finalist had planned to wear a beige jacket, but it was deemed too off-white and slightly brownish, leading to its prohibition on court.

Berrettini, who secured a second-round win against Arthur Fils, expressed mild disappointment, stating the outfit was "a little brownish" and thus disallowed. Wimbledon's rules are famously stringent, requiring competitors' attire to be almost entirely white from the moment they enter the court surround.

This strictness has impacted other players, including Jessica Bouzas, who was warned for a visible black undershirt. While Berrettini couldn't sport his planned look, other players like Taylor Fritz and Naomi Osaka have experimented with unique entries and outfits that skirt the edges of tradition.
