It is all a form of discipline, and we all know the feelings of some on that.

\\\the slight revealing of a bra strap that was not white is extremely silly. \\

Extremely sill to you maybe, but clearly not to the members and committee of the Wimbledon Tennis Club.
You may well hold a minority opinion or it may well be a majority opinion, but these are the rules.

If you do not like the Club rules, then don't join OR get a delegation to put your opinions forward at the next meeting.

Yes some of us prefer freedom to prison

[Mamyalynne]

It has simply become tradition to moan about the rules every year.

\\the slight revealing of a bra strap that was not white is extremely silly. \\

So where do you draw the line then?

As others have pointed out, no one is forced to play at Wimbledon so if you really object to the rules then dont play.

The dress code rules have been pretty much the same since the AELTC started.Surely they must be known and recognised by now.They ain't new or changed.

This is a sporting tournament not a Victorian enactment. ///

Victorian??????????

*** The first modern bra was patented on Nov. 3, 1914 ***

Yes I am sure the criminal fraternity does.

Doesn't matter whether the rules are new or more stringently enforced,the bleating occurs every year.

[retrocop]

Then the sheep can withdraw from the Tournament then. They have a choice as did Agassi for four years.

[Bazile]

That's why Nadal lost - he was destracted by the hair .

He should ask for the match to be replayed , with Brown cutting off his locks or at least tieing it up with a nice pink bow

[retrocop]

Bazile
A white bow will do nicely.

At last someone who dares to mention the hair.

[Mamyalynne]

Hair style was mentioned on page one - if they have a hairstyle code then I'm afraid I don't know it.

Don't take my comment too seriously - my tongue was firmly planted in my cheek

[Zacs-Master]

Why should it be 'daring' to mention his hair?

[Gromit]

Zacs,
Dreadlocks are worn by drug smoking rapists, muggers and thieves.

Please try and keep up.

You forgot Jimmy Hendrix and successful tennis players.

[Gromit]

Jimi had an afro.
