Never one to shy away from controversy, Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios is in hot water over his Wimbledon attire. The world number 45 played in white shoes during his fourth-round match against Brandon Nakashima on Centre Court, but changed into red and white Air Jordan trainers and a red cap after the game.

Flying in the face of Wimbledon's all-white dress-code, which many players and fans argue is antiquated, the divisive Kyrgios said "I do what I want".

The breach of rules will likely see the Canberra-born player add to his two existing fines which already total £11,560, for swearing and spitting.

The oldest Grand-Slam in the tennis calendar which dates back to 1877, Wimbledon has more rules than most including a strict dress-code.
