Oh dear, once they mention colour, it's then that problems are caused. :0)

[aelmpvw]

some crafty entrepreneur will be planning on making white bras as we speak

lucky Telegraph, they have found a photo of one woman affected

Heather Watson had a sports bra on yesterday which, obviously, was white. It is not advisable to play sports without the support of a bra. Absolutely ludicrous rule. Rx

[WELSHYORKIE]

Don't mean to deride her, jno, but she's hardly Katie Price sized, is she?

[jno]

who is, WelshYorkie, who is.

[boxtops]

I don't see the problem. The rule is white. Wear white.

[WELSHYORKIE]

Having looked in the mirror this morning, jno, I'm not far off - my moobs are quite a handful

[dannyk13]

I agree with Boxtops.The ban is only on coloured bras.

[boxtops]

TMI, Yorkie, TMI :-)

[jno]

they're on rather tasteless grounds prescribing the colour of adults' underwear, though. It sounds like boarding school.

If it is a last minute change with no forewarning one can see why folk would be annoyed. But I was under the impression that Wimbledon always wanted all white, and maybe made an error in turning a blind eye previously.

If the rules were in place well in advance of the tournament I don't see why the women couldn't have bought white undies.

Also it is affecting men too - plus it extends to the trim on footwear and that has caused upset.

[LyndaB]

So what exactly is the problem? The rules state quite clearly - all white. So don't come moaning to me if your outfit isn't all white. It's not as though white knickers and bras are difficult to find, is it?

[jno]

according to the story, the rule is new. It sounds like a last-minute crackdown that's caught players on the hop.

Can there be anybody in the world that doesn't know that there is an all-white rule at Wimbledon ?

[wolf63]

Most bras seem to be white, or they start off as white and become grey as time goes on. Most of these girls have no boobs anyway - they are athletes.

Is there a white knicker rule too?

[mikey4444]

I have never taken much interest in women's tennis up until now, but......

[jno]

I guess so, wolf, given that women wear their tennis skirts above the knee thesse days.

The hussies!
