Nick Kyrgios has sparked yet another controversy, this time by breaking Wimbledon's all-white dress code
Wimbledon quarter-finalist Kyrgios has sparked another controversy by breaking Wimbledon's historic all-white dress code. He wore red shoes to the court and also a red hat instead of the all-white hat and shoes he was supposed to wear. When asked if he thinks he is above the rules, he said he doesn't think so but does what he wants.
While some athletes like Wimbledon's historic white dress code, many believe it's high time that the rule is changed. Kyrgios has always been one of those never to like the rule. "It would be cool to allow, like, a black headband or black sweatband. I think it would look cool," said Kyrgios. "Wimbledon doesn't care what looks cool," he added.
