  • I am not a great female tennis fan( I never watch it) as a matter of fact they grunt more on court than they would do anywhere else but I do believe that the slutification has got to stop. Next thing you know they will be playing naked and what would that do to those channels that specialise in it..

    It's just not on (smirk)..

    By the way as we know. Women play 3 sets( at most more likely 2 sets) and get paid the same money as men playing 5 sets plus generate a greater audience..

    Heard anything about discrimination from feminists on that one ?

    Hardly..

    AUSTRALIAN Open referees will double as fashion police to stamp out skimpy outfits after Alize Cornet caused a stir with a see-through top at the Hopman Cup.

    Open officials have threatened fines of up to $2000 for any player caught flouting its strict dress code.

    The 18-year-old wore a short skirt and revealing see-through top during a doubles match at the tournament in Perth.

    Tell us: Are tennis outfits too skimpy?

    One of game's great players Margaret Court condemned her attire last night saying it pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable.

    And Open officials said they would review the rising star's outfits ahead of the tournament from January 19 to February 1.

    Court Australia's greatest female player said: "I just don't think the tennis court is the place to be everything clingy and showing everything" she said.

    The three-time Wimbledon champion and winner of 62 Grand Slam events said fashion had gone overboard.

    "Women don't need to expose themselves so much" she said.

    "You're good at something you do it well you can look so nice without needing to reveal everything.

    "If they think everybody's looking at their body and they've got see-through and no bra (outfits) it would have to affect your game."

    Australian Open referee Wayne McKewen said player's outfits would be scrutinised in Melbourne.

    "They should be dressed in what we say is tennis attire" he said.

    US champion Serena Williams who played agaieenst Samantha Stosur in the women's singles at the Sydney International tournament yesterday is another player renowned for her daring tennis wear.
