The 1987 champion claimed some players have been ordered to change their underwear if it was not entirely white. Some women have been sent back to "change their bras and tops because they had slight colour on them", he told BBC radio.

這位1987年冠軍宣稱，部分球員如果不是全身上下都白，會被要求更換內衣。他告訴英國廣播公司電台，部分女性被送回去「換胸罩與上衣，因為它們有一丁點顏色」。

The 49-year-old said he thought some players did not have sports bras that would pass muster and had to go without them. He also claimed one player was hauled into the referees’ office because his blue underwear "showed through when he got sweaty".

49歲的凱許說，他認為，一些球員沒有合乎標準的運動內衣，得不穿內衣就上場。他也宣稱，1名球員被拖進裁判辦公室，因為「他流汗時，會透出」藍色內褲的顏色。

A Wimbledon spokeswoman said all competitors had been given written notice of the Championships’ clothing rules. Caps, headbands, bandanas, wristbands and socks must be totally white.

溫布頓1位女發言人說，所有參賽者都拿到註明這項錦標賽衣著規定的書面通知單。帽子、頭帶、頭巾、護腕與襪子都必須全白。
