Wimbledon ban skimpy tennis outfits

Monday, June 26 2006, 10:07 BST - by Matt Houghton

Wimbledon organisers The All England Lawn Tennis Club have imposed a ban on skimpy tennis outfits ahead of this year's tournament.

The prestigious competition has seen a gradual relaxing of dress code over the last decade and bosses are keen to re-enforce standards.

With an influx of tennis stars such as Anna Kournikova and Maria Sharapova wearing smaller and more revealing outfits in recent years anything deemed "too sexy or low-cut" will be outlawed, according to The Sun.

The Wimbledon tournament begins at 1pm today.

Does this mean that Serena Williams will have to stop wearing those GAWD awful slutty 'tennis' outfits she designs?

Thank God. Bring some elegance back. The players look like shit now. I request tennis whites, long hair on the men, and nice legs. Is that too much to ask?

I hope so. Of course, there's no regulating taste, but maybe this will help.

Serena was out with an injury, so she wasn't even in Wimbleton this year. I like her, but she does wear some WILD shit!
