Tennis ace claps back at claims that she shouldn't wear tight outfits on court

A budding tennis ace has clapped back at claims that she shouldn't wear tight-fitting outfits on court. Evie has received backlash for her unconventional choice of clothing when competing, reports the Daily Star.

The influencer took to social media to vent her frustrations at trolls who have bashed her outfit choices whilst playing the racket sport. The tennis-lover regularly uploads video centred around her sporting passion to her 25k followers on TikTok.

A recent post by the 18-year-old showed her sporting a pair of grey leggings and a white long-sleeved crop top, which she was wearing over the top of a grey turtle neck. The clip had the caption: "a tennis girl can’t wear a tight dress like that".

In the video, Evie turns around to sarcastically play the violin in an attempt to mock those who have bashed her clothes in the past. The clip has since amassed over 5k views and almost 400 likes on TikTok, at the time of writing.

Despite her looks on the courts being controversial they are definitely not illegal. The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) "modernised" their dress code in 2019, allowing leggings and mid-thigh length compression shorts to be worn without a skirt or dress.

CEO Steve Simon said at that time: "We wanted to be progressive and make sure that we were current with where fashion is going and competitive-wear may be going.

"We also wanted to give our players the chance to be who they want to be and wear what they want, what they feel comfortable competing in."

Evie, based in Texas, US, certainly isn't afraid to push the boundaries with her tennis content. In one clip, the OnlyFans star splashes around in a hot tub. The caption of the video read: "Reason #69 to date a tennis girl. We know how to handle balls."
