Wimbledon set to 'relax all-white underwear rule for women' after Judy Murray criticism

Wimbledon organisers are reportedly set to relax their rule on women having to wear white underwear after fears were raised by Judy Murray and protestors.

The All-England Club, according to the Daily Mail , is likely to allow women to wear coloured underwear under their white clothing to help ease anxiety fears female competitors can face while playing during their menstrual cycles. At last year's Wimbledon final, there was a small protest by a group opposing the all-white underwear rules.

The group called 'Address The Dress Code' held placards asking for the rule to take into account women's menstrual cycles. In 2007 Tatiana Golovin accidentally went against the strict dress code by wearing red shorts under her skirt. She later said that she had simply forgotten to change from her warm-up clothing.
