Can women wear pants or shorts in tennis?

Question

Can professional women tennis players wear shorts or pants during a tennis match? and why? because i always see them playing in skirts.

Answer 1

You can wear anything you are comfortable in (unless there is a dress code at the courts you play on)  Sweat pants are a must in the fall outside up North.......shorts okay, skirts okay, and tennis dresses okay.....unrestrictive clothing is best.

Answer 2

yeah i do in both. i play high school tennis, we have sweat pants, skirts, and shorts. so do most teams, i guess it depends on the coach and/or school! :)

Answer 3

Both. I don't think there is a rule. Most of the girls, yes, play in skirts.
