"Ridiculous" Wimbledon rule forced female stars to play braless - giving fans an eyeful

dailystar.co.uk:

Wimbledon stars were reportedly forced to go braless during the tournament in 2014.SW19 rules state that all players, male and female, must adhere to the competition's strict all-white dress code.

This also applies to undergarments, including bras. According to the official Wimbledon's website: "Any undergarments that either are or can be visible during play (including due to perspiration) must also be completely white except for a single trim of colour no wider than one centimetre (10mm)."Controversial Australian star Nick Kyrgios hit the headlines earlier this week for wearing red trainers on Centre Court.

But the old-fashioned dress code came under even more scrutiny in 2014 when some female players had to remove their bras as they had slight colouration on them.

"I believe some of the girls didn’t have suitable sports bras and had to go without them.

It has absolutely gone ridiculous." The bizarre ruling was believed to have affected a number of players, including British star Naomi Broady, who appeared without a bra on during her second round match against Caroline Wozniacki. What do you make of Wimbledon's dress code?
