Tennis World reported that Wimbledon supervisors spotted Buzarnescu’s "illegal" undergarment during her warm-up. The irregularity was then pointed out to her after which she had to change.
Buzarnescu, who was wearing a black bra said that it was "too black" and the white one she had was "too transparent".
She had to borrow the garment from her coach.
"That's good, we did it," said Buzarnescu, who ended up winning the match.
"...all my work in recent weeks has borne fruit today and I am extremely happy I managed this victory,” said Buzarnescu to Eurosport.
