Richey Prefers Comfort Over Style On U S Open Courts
Nancy Richey, top American woman player, champions comfort over fashion as she pursues the grand slam bid at the U S Open. She wears boyish shorts and a floppy hat, saying dresses have pockets and she cannot wear them. Richey advanced to the third round with a 6 3 6 3 win over Gail Chanfreau of France as captain Mike Gibson enforces dress standards, banning a see through lace dress worn by Ingrid Bentzer of Sweden.
