'Men take off their shirts and it's fine'

The World Tennis Association has criticised US Open rules which saw French world number 31 Alize Cornet given a code violation for taking her shirt off on court. Cornet changed her shirt during her first-round defeat by Johanna Larsson, after realising it was on back to front. The umpire gave her a warning for 'unsportsmanlike conduct'.

Former British professional tennis player Amanda Owens says Cornet was treated very harshly.
