Wimbledon organisers The All England Lawn Tennis Club have imposed a ban on skimpy tennis outfits ahead of this year's tournament.

The prestigious competition has seen a gradual relaxing of dress code over the last decade and bosses are keen to re-enforce standards.

With an influx of tennis stars such as Anna Kournikova and Maria Sharapova wearing smaller and more revealing outfits in recent years anything deemed "too sexy or low-cut" will be outlawed, according to The Sun.

The Wimbledon tournament begins at 1pm today.
