London - Selfie-sticks have been banned from this year's Wimbledon tennis championship, organisers have announced.
The All England Lawn Tennis Club has confirmed fans won't be allowed to take the sticks - which help users take self-portrait photos that have become increasingly popular on Twitter and other forms of social media - into their Wimbledon headquarters in south-west London during the Grand Slam tournament.
In its guide for ticketholders, the AELTC - often accused of being hidebound for its insistence that players at Wimbledon still wear predominately white clothing - said it was merely following an increasing trend.
