Tennis Anyone?

7 time Grand Slam Champion Venus Williams defeated her first round opponent Patty Schnyder at the French Open with the greatest of ease. (6-3, 6-3) But for some reason nobody remembers the match itself, other than the fact that Venus was wearing a lacy, black dress with bright red trim on her bodice and a black overlay material that made the dress appear as if it was see through, even though it was not.
As of today May 28th, the 2nd seeded Williams has advanced into the fourth round of the French Open for the first time since 2006. Venus had little trouble Friday, putting together a 6-3, 6-4 victory over No. 26 Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia, who was a semifinalist at the clay-court Grand Slam tournament last year. And lets not forget she was wearing the same lacy black dress that generated so much buzz after her wins this week, Williams hit six aces, and her 20 winners were twice as many as Cibulkova’s total.
Lets keep it real about tennis outfits, Venus's dress was no more shorter or more revealing than anything else that has been worn in a tennis match. For some this would have been a fashion statement. For others, (Venus) its a mark of controversy. And in the sports game if you win while being controversial, that makes the original controversy even more controversial.
I think its a little too late to point the finger at one dress in a sport where all the female participants dawn some type of short, semi revealing outfit. Now when Venus comes to match wearing a thong and pasties, then you have controversy.
