 Former champion rounds on officials after clampdown on kit has unexpected consequences

Wimbledon's strict all-white dress code has forced some female competitors to go without bras at this year's tournament, it has been claimed.
Officials at the All-England club have launched a clampdown this year to prevent too much colour creeping into players' kits and keep sponsorship to a minimum, but the get-tough policy has not gone down well with some.
