John Millman explained the situation in a commentary for Channel 9. “For Grand Slam and ATP events, you can only have so many logos, one is too many,” Millman said. “You also need to measure because one of them might be too big.” Dimitrov hit three straight sets and the Hungarian won the first set in the second. round. .

The controversy surrounding Italian player Giorgi at Roland Garros in 2022 immediately came to mind. When Georgie was about to compete with Arina Sabalenka, she was told that the dress she was wearing was against the rules.

The referee thought the ‘DeLonghi’ logo on Giorgi’s shirt was too big and the Italian broke the rule by asking Giorgi if he had changed his clothes. “There are no further changes. This is my only dress. I’ve played with him before,” said Georgie. There was a drama with a dress for Giorgie’s race. Stump in the pit. The ad was too big.

“I have no change, this is my only dress. I’ve played with that person before…”

It was eventually determined that George could play in this shirt, but he did not wear it during the competition. The 32-year-old took to social media to post a photo of himself in the pre-match outfit he also wore in his previous match at the French Open. Giorgi played at the Australian Open on Tuesday and lost to Azarenka in three sets.
