Billie Jean King Tells French Open Officials To Stop 'Policing Women's Bodies'

Billie Jean King slammed French Open officials over the weekend for “policing women’s bodies” after they banned Serena Williams’ “catsuit” in tournament play.

French Tennis Federation President Bernard Giudicelli announced last week that the French Open was instituting a new dress code for players, and pointedly noted that Williams’ skintight black bodysuit would no longer be allowed even though it was fine to wear during this year’s tournament in May.
