For the first time in 148 years, Wimbledon will break its all-white dress code, allowing players to wear black armbands in tribute to Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota. Jota, 28, and his brother André Silva, 25, died in a car crash in Zamora, Spain, on July 3. The brothers’ Lamborghini veered off-road and burst into flames. Authorities suspect a tire blowout during an overtaking attempt. Jota was reportedly heading to Santander for a ferry to England after being advised not to fly post-surgery. Wimbledon’s gesture marks a rare tradition break, as global tributes pour in for the late Portuguese striker. (PC: India Today)
