Venus Williams' New Outfit - Sexy or Inappropriate?

We knew Venus Williams have her own clothing line, that's why she always looks so fashionable on the tennis court. But, did she took it too far this time?

On this 2010 French Open Grand Slam series, she wore a new outfit which looks like corset or a tutu. But, that's not what made it controversial. The outfit was looked like a see-through and that Venus Williams looked like she was not wore any underwear. That was because she used a skin-colored undies.

Venus wore a similar outfit last month at Sony Ericsson Open and both are branded as part of her EleVen clothing line, which is designed for on or off the court activities.




Apparently this new outfit didn't help with her performance. She was beaten by Russian player, Nadia Petrova, only in the 4th round of the championship. At least, during her participation in this tournament, she gained a lot attention from the crowd. The French, being French, naturally sent some whistles raining down on Williams, and the famous French saying: "Ooh-la-la." on many lips.

Andy Murray Best Pictures 2009

Andy Murray defeated Chile’s Nicolas Massu by beginning a tricky and wonderful attack, now he will be face and fight in the fourth round of Sony Ericsson Open on Monday at Miami. Murray will now in the front of world number 41 Viktor Troicki in the last 16 after the Serb punch Bjorn Phau 6-4 6-3.
Murray gave for a first-serve percentage of 45% in the start set in opposition to Massu and it was the Chilean’s faults that made the Scot back into the set. When he cracked to go 4-3 up it appeared as although the fourth seed was on path but he played one more bad performance game to let Massu back to 4-4.
Murray fought 5-1 clear in the second set and in spite of allowing one of the breaks go, there seemed to be tiny risk until Massu got back to 5-4. The Chilean then achieved two opportunities to make level the scores in a theatrical game but made voluntary faults on together and finally, Murray got the conquest on his second match point.
Luckily for the Briton, Massu could not manage the anxiety and pressure at key present moments three consecutive double-errors handed the plan to Murray once again and he served out confidently.
Murray prescribed, “His beginning was very fine and sound, striking the ball solid with his forehand and I was hitting it short. But after 3-0 in the first set I performed well until 5-1 (in the second) and then completely misplaced attentiveness, and finished up being in a battle at the end, which I didn’t essentially need.

Shawn Johnson is Not A Pitcher

Shawn Johnson, American artistic gymnast, throwing the first pitch at an Iowa Cubs game recently in her native state. Her throw was so weak and hit the dirt. As a gold medal gymnast she should have a stronger arms than that! Watch the video below:

Shawn Johnson pitch, not her best effort


This was not the first time Shawn Johnson did a first pitch for a baseball game. She threw out a first pitch at Dodger Stadium while doing promo work for "Dancing With The Stars" before, and while it wasn't exactly a hit, it was much better than her last throw.

In her defense, "That's why I'm a gymnast," she told KCCI afterward.

Amelie Mauresmo is reported to have said: "I started to play better in the second set and there were times when I played some good tennis. There were still probably a few things here and there which cost me that second set, and I didn't play the tie-break as I expected, but she came up with some good shots when she needed them."
