Australian Open bans skimpy tennis skirts, see-through tops

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...
A dress code controversy is brewing in Melbourne, and though it involves tennis not golf, I think it's worth noting, because our sport often grapples with issues of attire ... and, well...because I love a good dress code controversy.

Today's attire quagmire is taking place at the Australian Open, and the subject is Alize Cornet, a pretty French teenager, currently her country's top player. Alize who turns 19 on January 22, has been know to push the proverbial envelope, with both her aggressive game and her tiny little (ultra-cute) outfits. Well, this time it looks like she may have pushed a bit too far.
