London to host colorful Wimbledon at Summer OlympicsMay 16, 2012 - 12:15 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - 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 Associated Press reported. "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. Ricci Bitti said the most difficult thing with hosting Olympic tennis at Wimbledon has been setting up better security, noting that there will be separate entrances for players and fans.
