<div align="justify">Four boys in the Wimbledon junior event have fallen foul of the All England Club's strict all-white clothing policy after showing up on court sporting black and blue underwear.<br /><br />Top seeded doubles pair Zsombor Piros of Hungary and China's Wu Yibing were handed white underwear by a courtside official and sent back to the locker room to change.<br /><br />Piros had blue underwear beneath his white shorts while fellow 17-year-old Wu had opted for black.<br /><br />One of their opponents, Brazil's Joao Reis da Silva was also sanctioned but he protested, claiming his grey underwear should have been acceptable.<br /><br />"We changed but the Brazilian guy refused at first because he said grey was OK," explained Piros.<br /><br />"He was gone for about 30 minutes so it took a long time to start the match."<br /><br />Da Silva's partner Mohammed Ali Bellalouna was the only player with white underwear.<br /><br />Piros and Wu, the top seeds, won that match on Wednesday.<br /><br />However, sporting their new white underwear, they lost in the second round on Thursday against Sebastian Korda and Nicolas Meija.<br /><br />"The blue and black shorts were our lucky pants," said Piros, who had worn his more colourful attire in the early rounds of the singles tournament.<br /><br />"There were no signs to indicate we were supposed to wear white underwear. I only got caught out because a little bit of blue was showing.<br /><br />"Some umpires don't say anything. Maybe they prefer not to focus on the underwear."<br /><br />Piros said the white replacements rustled up by tournament officials were very comfortable.<br /><br />"They never asked for them back," he added.<br /><br />"If I come back to play here again, I will remember not to wear blue or green."<br /><br />Despite the clothing conundrum, Piros said he wasn't unhappy at the saga.<br /><br />"I think it's kinda funny," he added.<br /><br />Later Thursday, Austria's Jurij Rodionov was also told to change as he had arrived on Court 18 with blue boxer shorts under his white playing gear.<br /><br />First the chair umpire inspected them before a female supervisor also arrived to take a peek at his undergarments.<br /><br />Rodionov had to retreat to the locker room to change but maintained his composure to defeat Blake Ellis of Australia to reach the quarters.<br /></div>
