The American sportswoman beat Elise Mertens 7-6 6-4 on Centre Court

in their first round clash after breaking tradition by wearing a rule-breaking pink bra.

But risking the wrath of Wimbledon officials and potential punishment

the seven-time singles Grand Slam winner changed the undergarment after a short break.

Williams wasn't at all keen to talk about it after, but an official later stated: "Underwear should be white."
