Venus Williams, fashion designer
By Nicola Copping,
Underwear and sport have a long and fruitful association: think David Beckham and those Armani briefs, or Didier Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo in vacuum-packed Calvin Kleins on that Vanity Fair cover. Most recently, there is Venus Williams, five-time Wimbledon women’s singles champion and, as of last month’s French Open, controversial purveyor of the flesh-coloured hot pant. Posted on Jun 18, 2010
Venus Williams has designs on two titles at Wimbledon

By TYLER DUNNE
Philadelphia Daily News dunnet@phillynews.com Venus Williams has arguably never been better. Ranked second in the world, she's nipping at her sister Serena's heels. And in less than 2 weeks, her book "Come to Win" hits the shelves. But in reality, both are footnotes compared with the ruckus she caused at the French Open a couple of weeks ago. Williams' outfit - a risque, black-and-red-laced, French-maid dress - caused great controversy with its scandalous see-through effect. Posted on Jun 15, 2010
