More female tennis professionals should wear shorts like Sharapova as they look so much better than cycle shorts under dresses and skirts. That's my honest opinion. The modern look is horrible. It looks stupid. Jelena Ostapenko looks the worst. I think she makes her own tennis clothes. And she wears huge cycle shorts underneath. Looks clumsy and frankly crude. Far from elegant. Why not just wear a nice pair of elegant shorts. Look at Sharapova below.
Maria Sharapova is at Wimbledon this year as a guest. She retired in 2020. She looks great and says great things too. She's a smart lady. I sense that she is really switched on which probably contributed to her great success as a tennis professional during which, on one occasion, she wore shorts at Wimbledon in 2008.
Harpers Bazaar online says this:
When it comes to her most memorable on-court looks, Sharapova says it has to be the tuxedo-inspired ensemble with shorts that she wore in 2008 that stands out for her. “It was quite rare for girls to wear shorts and it felt really unique. I feel like I pushed the boundaries a little bit.”

Obviously this is a matter of personal choice and taste. But I think that the female tennis professionals are scared to wear shorts in matches. They want to because we see them always wearing shorts when practicing. They change into match garb and it is nowhere near as elegant.
Shorts are more practical too. Are the ladies worried about spectators thinking that a female tennis pro wearing shorts is gay? Is that the barrier to wearing shorts? Please tell me.
