Ons Jabeur was kicked off Centre Court and sent back to changing room for Wimbledon violation before leaving in tears

Ons Jabeur forgot one key Wimbledon rule it got her kicked off Centre Court during her warm-up for the women’s final.

Ahead of her defeat to Marketa Vondrousova in 2023, Jabeur was sent back to the changing rooms by officials at the All England Club for wearing a black top to practice in.

Ons Jabeur was sent back to the changing rooms for wearing black, which is against the strict rules Wimbledon has for players

At Wimbledon, wearing any colour other than white is strictly prohibited and Jabeur was told she had to change into the traditional all-white attire before coming back on court.

According to the All England club’s guidelines, all players must wear entirely white – which does not include variations of white or cream colours.

The rule reads: “Competitors must be dressed in suitable tennis attire that is almost entirely white and this applies from the point at which the player enters the court surround.”

Three-time Wimbledon champion Chris Evert, who was working as an analyst for TV first told viewers what happened. “Ons was wearing all black on Centre Court and they kicked her off.

“They kicked her off and made her put on white clothes. At Wimbledon you have to wear white!

Even in the final of Wimbledon. I thought that was interesting.”

When asked about the incident, Jabeur explained her focus on the final caused her to momentarily forget.

“I completely forgot the white rules,” she said in her post-match press conference. “When you go into a match court, you just dress up as normal clothes
