Women players mostly wear baggy shorts and shirts unlike their tennis counterparts who dress for comfort as well as style.
“We are trying to push the players to use skirts and also nicer shirts, not the shirts that are made for men, but ones with more curves,” International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) vice president Claude Bergeret said.
I was gonna write how typical this was coming from Beijing, but it was actually a French guy who said it. The article goes on to cite Japan's Naomi Yotsumoto as an example of a woman who's got it right.
We live in Asia, after all, where nobody passes up an opportunity to snap upskirt pics.
The directive to get sexier came also in 2007 during the Women's World Cup of Table Tennis in Chengdu, China. A few examples of the results available here and below.

Let's face it. How many guys actually watch women's sport for the actual sport? ㅋㅋㅋ
As I've said before in various places, much of Asia is not as evolved as most Western countries when it comes how it should view women. However, it's not to say that the West was never at that particular spot either.
