We are still saddened by the passing of Diogo Jota, a piece of news that caught our attention late on Friday. Nuno Borges, the footballer's fellow countryman, wanted to make a gesture in his match against Karen Khachanov in the third round. What was it about? Simply, stepping onto the court wearing Jota's shirt, a tribute that his manager communicated to the organization hours in advance. And what was Wimbledon's response? Denied. The tournament deemed it not compliant with the dress code, so Nuno had to settle for wearing a black ribbon on his cap, a gesture also made by the Portuguese tennis player Francisco Cabral. 

Nuno Borges initially thought to step on court today wearing Diogo Jota’s shirt from the Portuguese national team, but his agent’s request was quickly denied by #Wimbledon. Like his countryman Francisco Cabral earlier, he said the black ribbon was what turned out to be possible.
