Pat Cash, the former Wimbledon champion, has claimed that women players at
this year’s tournament have been forced to play bra-less following a clamp
down on the all-white rule.
It comes after some players, including Serena Williams, tried to introduce
colour into their SW19 outfits by wearing bright underwear in previous
years.
But under new guidelines issued this year, players may only break up their
all-white outfits with a coloured trim of 1cm width.
The letter sent to competitors also stated: “Undergarments that either
are or can be visible during play (including due to perspiration) must also
be completely white and contain no more than 1cm of coloured trim.”
Players are said to have reacted angrily to the new rules and in an interview
with BBC Radio 5 Live Cash said: “Some of the girls have been told to
go back and change their bras and tops because they had slight colour on
them.
