Melbourne, Jan 12 : Female tennis stars participating in the Australian Open have been asked to give up skimpy outfits, and cover up at the Melbourne event.
The move came after French player Alize Cornet caused a stir in the Hopman Cup last week with a revealing, see-through top during a doubles match, reports The Sunday Herald Sun.
The Australian Open officials have threatened to impose a fine up to 2000 dollars for any player who broke strict dress code.
They would review the Cornet's outfits ahead of the tournament from January 19 to February 1.
Ex-tennis star Margaret Court also condemned Cornet's attire, insisting it pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable.
