WIMBLEDON'S all-white dress code won't be in place for the Olympics. And the traditional dark green backdrop around the courts will be gone too.
"The look will be the look of the games. There will be more color. It will be a special Wimbledon," International Tennis Federation President Francesco Ricci Bitti said. "The rule for clothing will be the rule for the Olympics, so there will be much more color in terms of what the players wear, too.
"Some people might not like it, but I think the majority will," Ricci Bitti added. "It will be memorable."
Venus Williams, who has won three Olympic gold medals, is embracing the opportunity to wear something different at the All England Club.
"It's the Olympics and so at that point it won't be Wimbledon, so that's what makes it different," Williams said. "We'll be wearing team colors. Red, white and blue all the way - and hopefully gold."
