NEW FRENCH OPEN rule COLON ON THE DISABLED SINGLES Out WILLIAMS List with AILING BACK

Serena Williams will no longer be allowed to wear her skin-tight black catsuit at the French Open. French Tennis Federation president Bernard Giudicelli said 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. Giudicelli said: “It will no longer be accepted. One must respect the game and the place.” He said new rules won’t be as strict as Wimbledon’s, which require players to wear white, but will “impose certain limits.” Texas Rangers pitcher Bartolo Colon has been put on the 10-day disabled list because of a strained lower back. The 45-year-old Colon is 7-11 with a 5.45 ERA. The Rangers made the move before Friday night’s game against the Giants in San Francisco. Colon was scratched from a start last Sunday against the Angels because of back stiffness. The right-hander pitched Monday at Oakland and was tagged for seven runs and 10 hits in five innings. Colon had won two starts in a row after losing five straight. Earlier this month, Colon became the winningest pitcher born in Latin America in majorleague history. The Dominican Republic native posted his 246th victory, passing Nicaraguan Dennis Martinez.
