The 19 year old blonde, French teenager Tatiana Golovin<\/a> risked breaking the strict Wimbledon dress code when she appeared on an outside court for her rain-delayed first-round match against Su-Wei Hsieh, of Taiwan, wearing red knicker.<\/p>\n

But after a probe during a rain break, the blonde-haired beauty was cleared when the offending undergarment were officially designated \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcknicker\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/strong> rather than \u00e2\u20ac\u02dccycling short\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/strong>. Had her red undies reached down beneath the level of her skirt, Golovin would have been ordered to leave the ground by Wimbledon officials.<\/p>\n

The Wimbledon rules state:<\/p>\n

\n

Each individual item of clothing must be almost entirely white. Any competitor who appears on court dressed in a manner deemed unsuitable by the Committee will be liable to be defaulted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

After being cleared, 17th seed Golovin said, <\/p>\n

\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153They said that Red is a color that proves you are strong and confident, so I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m happy with my red knickers. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll keep wearing them as long as I keep winning. They are lucky.For these two weeks, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going to be red. Then it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a surprise for after that.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

After grinding out a 5-7 6-3 8-6 victory to earn a second-round meeting with 16-year-old Tamira Paszek, Golovin intends to stick with her lucky red pants for as long as she remains in the tournament.<\/p>\n

Of 15 questions asked at the 19-year-old’s post match press conference<\/a>, 10 were related to her underwear.<\/p>\n

Update : <\/strong><\/p>\n

The chance to see Tatiana Golovin’s red knickers is over, as the French 17th seed lost to Tamira Paszek of Austria by 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 in the second round. Golovin, whose red underwear earned her worldwide celebrity for a day, caught the attention for an entirely different reason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
