Belarusian Victoria Azarenka, 25th player in the world, appeared wearing a Paris SG jersey on the court in the first round of the Adelaide tournament, before being asked by the referee on Tuesday to remove it for violation of the dress code.

In the first round of the Adelaide 2 tournament, the former world number 1 entered the court proudly wearing the Paris Saint-Germain jersey.

The Belarusian is a loyal supporter of the Parisian club.

But his love for the team of Messi, Neymar and Mbappé was not enough to appease the referee of the game.
