Questions 5l-55 are based on the following passage:
The business of tennis clothes has grown greatly in the past few years.
Over $250 million is spent annually on the trappings of tennis. Apparently
everyone wants to look like a professional, even though 20% of the clientele
has never even played the game. Manufacturers pay the stars lucrative fees for
wearing their brands of clothes and wielding their racquets on center court.
Chris Evert-Lloyd, for example, is rumored to have signed a five-year contact
for $5 million with Ellesse, a producer of fancy, expensive tennis wear. John
McEnroe gets a reported $600,000 for playing with a Dunlop racquet, $330,000
for sporting Tacchini clothes, and $100,000 for tying his Nike tennis shoes.
Obviously, in a bad year, these stars make more as fashion models than as
athletes. Not only tennis players get free clothing, but also all the people
involved in the game --- the referees, linespeople, ball boys and girls -- are
living advertisements for tennis wear producers. Where, traditionally,
conservative white clothing was required or the entire tennis coterie,
changing times have seen a new fashion in tennis outfits. Flamboyant colors,
designers’ nameplates, geometric figures, and bold lines distinguish the new
tennis clothes from their predecessors .
