Serena Williams will no longer be allowed to wear her black catsuit at the French Open.

The French Tennis Federation president, Bernard Giudicelli, says the tournament that Williams has won three times is introducing a dress code to regulate players' uniforms because "I think that sometimes we've gone too far."

In an interview in Tennis Magazine's 500th edition, Giudicelli singled out the figure-hugging black suit that Williams wore this year at Roland Garros and said made her feel like a superhero.

"It will no longer be accepted. One must respect the game and the place," Giudicelli said.

Serena’s fans on Twitter came out in support.
