Serena's dress distracts opponent, gets her the win
Quick, where's the tennis ball in that picture? I thought so. You couldn't see it because Serena is wearing a dress the same color of a tennis ball. Clever lass, she is. I'm sure that's why she beat the 27th ranked player in the world. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that she can wipe the floor with most women's players when half-healthy and motivated.
From the Daily Telegraph down under:
"SERENA Williams was bizarrely forced to defend the design of her dress last night, an eye-catching fluorescent lime-green and yellow number, after it was suggested her opponent may lose sight of the similarly-coloured tennis balls in the frock ...
"The seven-time grand slam winner and world No. 95 wore the controversial camouflage dress - one of her own designs - for the first time last night against Santangelo.
"'I never thought about that to be honest (the camouflage effect),' said Williams, who teamed the frock with a gigantic pair of hoop earrings and sashayed onto the court with a designer Nike handbag."
