| Description: | THIS FREEDOM! Women replace long skirts with shorts for tennis in Australia. "This freedom - This vogue for brevity in tennis attire has spread to Australia!" Australia. Various high angle shots of four women playing a doubles match of tennis on a grass court. They are all wearing long skirts. We then see the same girls wearing shorts and little tops.
