Pat Cash fires a volley at 'ridiculous' rules
Officials applying All England Club's all-white dress code far too strictly, says former champion
Former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash blasted the All England Club, saying they were being over-zealous with the all-white dress code which he claims has forced some women players to even change their bras.
"It has absolutely gone ridiculous," the Australian said.
The 1987 champion claimed some players have been ordered to change their underwear if it was not entirely white.
Any competitor who appears on court dressed in a manner deemed unsuitable by the committee will be liable to be defaulted
Some women have been sent back to "change their bras and tops because they had slight colour on them", he told BBC radio.
The 49-year-old said he thought some players did not have sports bras that would pass muster and had to go without them.
He also claimed one player was hauled into the referees' office because his blue underwear "showed through when he got sweaty".
A Wimbledon spokeswoman said all competitors had been given written notice of the championships' clothing rules.
