Four boys in the Wimbledon junior tournament have fallen foul of the tournament's strict all-white clothing policy after showing up on court wearing black and blue underwear.
Top-seeded doubles pair Zsombor Piros of Hungary and China's Wu Yibing were handed white underwear by a courtside official and sent back to the locker room to change. Piros had blue underwear beneath his white shorts while fellow 17-year-old Wu had opted for black. One of their opponents, Brazil's Joao Reis da Silva was also sanctioned but he protested, claiming his grey underwear should have been acceptable. "We changed but the Brazilian guy refused at first because he said grey was OK," explained Piros. "He was gone for about 30 minutes so it took a long time to start the match," he added.

Da Silva's partner Mohammed Ali Bellalouna was the only player with white underwear. Piros and Wu, the top seeds, won that match on Wednesday. However, sporting their new white underwear, they lost in the second round on Thursday against Sebastian Korda and Nicolas Meija. "The blue and black shorts were our lucky pants," said Piros.
