Female Wimbledon star forced to lift up skirt as she is questioned over breaking all-white dress code
WIMBLEDON star Jelena Ostapenko looked baffled as she had her outfit checked by an umpire. The Latvian, 28, was set to play her women's doubles second round match alongside partner Hsieh Su-wei on Court 14. 3 The All England Club enforces a strict dress code for players, forcing them to wear all white. From the 2023 Championships rules were eased for female players, allowing them to wear dark undershorts. The controversial rule was changed over concerns from players about having to wear all-white during menstruation. After taking to court alongside Hsieh, Ostapenko was spoken to by British umpire Jamie Crowson. The former Roland Garros champion threw her hands out in irritation as her outfit was questioned. Wearing a confused expression, Ostapenko then lifted her skirt to show her green shorts, which adhere to the rules due to the 2023 changes. Ostapenko and Hsieh took on Marta Kostyuk and Elena-Gabriela Ruse. Having put her confusion with the umpire behind her, Ostapenko went on to triumph 5-7 6-2 6-2 alongside her experienced partner. The victorious pair will face Ekaterina Alexandrova and Zhang Shuai in the next round. Ostapenko went into the singles event at SW19 seeded No20. Inside crazy world of Jelena Ostapenko But she was upset in round one by British sensation Sonay Kartal. The 23-year-old Londoner produced an excellent display to beat Ostapenko 7-5 2-6 6-2 over on No3 Court. Kartal has since proven to be a revelation at this year's Championships, and is the last British woman standing - having backed up her big win in round one with further triumphs over Viktoriya Tomova and Diane Parry. Next up she will face Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, the Russian who beat Naomi Osaka yesterday, for a place in the quarter-finals. 3

Jamie Redknapp joins his stunning wife Frieda as well as chic Binky Felstead and Alex Jones as they led the celebrities at day six of Wimbledon
was joined by his stunning wife Frieda as they attended day six of Wimbledon at The All England Lawn Tennis Club on Saturday. The couple led the celebrity arrivals for the Tennis Championships with Binky Felstead and Alex Jones also in attendance. Saturday's tennis action will see Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner as men's headliners at the All England Club, while Iga Swiatek, Mirra Andreeva and Barbora Krejcikova will play on the women's side. Jamie looks smart in a clean-cut navy blue suit with a white shirt while Frieda wore a co-ordinating collared midi dress. Binky showed off her chic sense of style in a yellow two-piece set consisting of a tailored waistcoat and high waisted shorts. The former Made In Chelsea star teamed her outfit with a matching pair of mules and carried a woven clutch bag. Alex wore an elegant polka dot dress that featured a highneck and semi-sheer tiered skirt. Actor Glen Powell opted for a chequered beige suit which he teamed with a white shirt and brown loafers. The presenter topped off her look with a pair of strappy heels and added a brown leather crossbody handbag. Saturday will see Djokovic take on Miomir Kecmanovic in the prime-time slot after Sinner has played Pedro Martinez. For the women, Swiatek will play Danielle Collins, while Krejcikova prepares to take on Emma Navarro. Earlier this year, former footballer and Sky soccer pundit Jamie was banned from driving for twelve months today for clocking-up multiple speeding offences. It was the ex-Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool FC star's second driving ban for speeding, meaning he was disqualified for twice the usual length of time. The former England international, who lives in a six-bedroom £10.5m house in Kensington, did not appear at Bexley Magistrates Court. He pleaded guilty in advance of the hearing and declared his income to the court as £9,230 per week. Redknapp pleaded guilty to exceeding the 20mph limit on June 26, last year on the A219 Putney Hill, near the junction of Westleigh Avenue, Putney, where a camera snapped him doing 26mph. He also admitted exceeding the 50mph limit on November 2, last year on the M4 near Burghfield, Reading, where he was caught driving at 58mph.

Wimbledon respond to Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper complaints over key change
Wimbledon have issued a response to Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper's complaints over electric line calling after their respective defeats. The All England Club made a key change at Wimbledon 2025 with Hawk-Eye technology coming in replace line judges for the first time ever. Nick Kyrgios believes Wimbledon bosses have made a mistake over the decision – in what has become one of the biggest talking points in SW19. Up to 18 cameras, developed by Hawk-Eye, are now situated around each court to track the progress of the ball and determine whether it is in or out. They've replaced the 300 line judges that have been used for the past 148 years, with Wimbledon now using the same tech as other Grand Slams. Raducanu and Draper, the British No.1s in women's singles and men's singles, have both raised concerns over the electric line calling system. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video In a post-match press conference after her third-round exit to Aryna Sabalenka on Friday, Raducanu was asked about an incident in which she approached the umpire and was adamant that the wrong call was made. 'Yeah, I mean, that call was like, for sure out,' Raducanu said. 'It's kind of disappointing, the tournament here, that the calls can be so wrong, but for the most part they've been okay. 'It's just like, I've had a few in my other matches, too, that have been very wrong. So yeah, I don't know. Hopefully they can kind of fix that.' Draper was left equally annoyed after his second-round defeat to Marin Cilic and added: 'I don't think it's 100 per cent accurate, in all honesty. 'A couple of the ones today, it showed, like, a mark on the court. There's no way the chalk would have showed. I guess it can't be 100 per cent accurate. 'It's millimetres. It's for both ways. I think it's a shame that the umpires aren't involved. 'It's obviously something that makes it easier for the players because we don't have to worry about line calls.' Wimbledon tournament director Jamie Baker has now hit back at Raducanu and Draper as he defended the new Hawk-Eye technology. More Trending 'The concept of live line calling is absolutely standard across the Tour now – mandatory across the ATP Tour,' he said. 'Two of the other Grand Slams have had it for four or five years. What that has meant is that the level of sophistication and certification around the system has become more professional and more robust as time has gone on. 'The accuracy and the reliability and the robustness of the system and the process as a whole, in terms of officiating, is in as good a place as it has been.'
