Venus Williams' French Open outfit vs. US Open outfit

Here's the question on the table: Is the world of tennis the place for lace, ruffles and rhinestones?In May, tennis star Venus Williams made headlines when she wore a lacy, ruffled black-and-red outfit that looked more designed for the bedroom than the tennis court at the French Open. Giving spectators even more of an eye full was its propensity to fly up revealing ... flesh-colored shorts underneath.
On Sunday (Sept. 5), Venus played in the U.S. Open and decided to dispense with a skirt altogether, instead donning black short shorts and a pink top festooned with thousands of tiny rhinestones.
"So far this year my outfits have been based on the cities that I play in," Venus tells fans. "This outfit was supposed to be about New York. It's like bursts of fireworks."
Does this mean that she thinks France is about bordellos?

Shes not the only one that wear outfits like that during tennis tourneys. It seems like the skirts get shorter and shorter during these events.
Caroline Wozniaki looks like USTA Barbie. But, since she's pretty and blonde, no one says a word about her sometimes ridiculous attire.
@Joe- You know what, I almost agreed with you. But those "pretty blonde" girls you speak of ACT LIKE PROFESSIONALS. The fact is, Venus and Serena display the most unsportsmanlike attitudes in ALL OF TENNIS. If you don't think so, then you don't watch tennis and you don't do your research. So if they catch flak for their attire, then so be it. It is well-deserved.
A "lacy, ruffled black-and-white outfit"? Looks black and red to me.
So trashy...
@Julie...Apparently you don't watch tennis, or you think that all black people are one in the same. Venus is a model of professionalism. Don't blame her for her sister's outburst.
Dat reeley duz stink...Doze williams gurls daze boaf stink...
SHe is built like a man, it's not fair to the women. About her classless behavior also unlady like.
Joe said it exactly right. i posted a comment to this effect but it did not get posted, it was "moderated" but never appeared. what's up with that?
Did Venus win the match when she had on that balck and red outfit? Enough said.
