Official's call slammed as sexist at US Open

From Morning Report, 8:35 am on 30 August 2018

An official's reaction to a spur-of-the-moment wardrobe change has sparked cries of sexism at the US Tennis Open. The umpire gave French player Alize Cornet a code violation yesterday when she took off her top off to turn it inside out on the tennis court. The change took just 15 seconds and all that was revealed to the crowd and television cameras was her sports bra. Dave Worsley is at the US Open. He talks to Susie Ferguson.
