This is one of those stories that just can't do with fewer than three pictures.
From today's Yahoo Sports report comes news of a silly episode at The Australian Open. The start of the match between Ekaterina Makarova and Kim Clijsters was delayed when the umpire decided that a logo on the front of Makarova's shirt was too large and had to be removed. Makarova had to leave the court and change into an inoffensive outfit before starting the match. Later in the match she re-applied the logo in a more suitable location.
Grand Slam rules dictate that logos on the front of the shirt cannot exceed four square inches. Larger logos are allowed on the sleeves, which is where Makarova's banned logo eventually was placed.
Quite why Venus Williams was allowed to play earlier in the tournament with a dress that allowed her ass to flash before millions of global sports fans is beyond me.
