Tennis players probably have underwear beneath their shorts. Bike shorts are usually just one layer of lycra and are meant to be worn without underwear. If you've ever made the mistake of buying a white swimsuit (guilty! ) then you know that light coloured lycra becomes virtually transparent when wet.
