Annabel Croft is a former British number one tennis player. She says the menstrual cycle is the "last taboo" for women in sport and that women "suffer in silence" on the subject. Her comments come after British player Heather Watson admitted feeling unwell during the Australian Open because of "girly things". Should sport talk about it more openly?
