Here's the solution: 
This would solve the following problems:
1. The sun shining in the players' eyes.
2. Play having to be stopped every time it rains at Wimbledon.*
3. Those rather unsporting double-handed shots.
4. There's not enough space for advertising logos on a tennis racquet.
5. The players will have something to hide behind if they are sulking after losing a game, or if they wish to mouth swear words at their opponent.
Any more ideas?
* Apparently they've gone for the rather more expensive option on Centre Court.
Rejoice! Free Propaganda!

Perfect for hitting an errant line judge.
AC, with the spikey thing on the top.
I've just thought of advantage (sic) seven: you know how tennis players mainly use one arm, so they end up a bit lopsided with one muscular arm and one normal one, they could put lead weights in the umbrella handle to give the left arm a bit of exercise as well, even things up a bit.
Forcing players to carry The Rainbow Coloured Umbrella will serve as constant reminder of the lack of diversity recognized in this world until such time that gay marriage has been normalised and is taught in the public schools.
In clement weather they could jam it into the grass upside down and fill it with enough balls to avoid all that rather obtrusive child labour.
Besides down here, its looking a tad black overhead.........
Anon, fair enough, but Buster Mottram could have had his emblazoned with a swastika.
AKH, good one! They could also leave it half-closed and use it for carrying tennis balls, bottles of water and stuff.
WFW, you've lost me.
MW: sorry - non PC joke. Perhaps I should have phrased it: Never mind what is overhead, its looking a tad dark down here! .....
WFW, Serena is a goddess among women of whatever colour, race or creed and not to be slighted on this here 'blog.
Apologies.....
What are these ten nis of which you speak?
Problem number 10 which this would solve - players making that silly 'punching the air' gesture after scoring a point.
