…Your shorts actually gain weight during a match?
Tennis great Don Budge always wore long pants during his matches and wondered if fellow Hall of Famer Bunny Austin had an advantage playing in shorts. Sure enough, Budge found that his pants had “gained” 7 pounds after weighing them before and after a match. Therefore, when playing tennis in the sun, it is important to wear light (weight and color), loose fitting clothing so that sweat can be properly evaporated and your body can cool itself. Light colored clothing will reflect the sun rather than absorb it like dark colored clothing. In addition, sweat soaked clothes do not allow for evaporation to take place so change to dry clothing whenever possible.
