The 10 craziest Williams sisters outfits

The 10 craziest Williams sisters outfits


Serena Williams returned to practice this week after illness, and celebrated by posting a photo on Twitter of her incredible pink all-in-one outfit.

It might just be the craziest thing she has ever worn - quite a statement considering some of the fantastic fashion creations the Williams sisters have worn over the years. Here is a look at 10 of the best.
 The incredible fluorescent outfit unveiled this week.

 Where it all began - Venus and Serena at the 1998 Australian Open.

 Yes, Serena really is wearing a Cameroon football kit at the 2002 French Open.

 Serena showcases her impressive, er, curves at the 2002 US Open. You could rest a pint glass on that thing...

 Utter lunacy from head to toe, and therefore quite brilliant. Serena's 2004 US Open get-up.

 The caption-writers are saved a job with this earring at the 2007 Key Biscayne Open.

 Venus strikes back with an outrageous dress and hairdo combo at Key Biscayne in 2009.

 Serena asks a cheeky question after winning Wimbledon in 2009.

 Yikes. Just yikes. Venus au naturel at the 2010 French Open.

 And with her prize money from the 2011 Australian Open, Venus could afford the rest of that dress.

Serena back on court in outrageous outfit

Serena back on court in outrageous outfit

 Serena Williams is back on the tennis court for the first time since a health scare sidelined her two months ago. And, in typical Serena fashion, she did so in style:
What, you expected the woman who once wore this to a US Open to practice in a tennis skirt and sweater vest? If Serena is coming back, it's going to be with some gusto.
The 13-time Grand Slam champion had been hinting at a return to the court for the past few days on her Twitter account. Cryptic messages like "my life starts today" and "back on the shakes" foreshadowed Tuesday's practice session, which was announced in the third-person and later confirmed by her agent.

The outfit, however, was a complete surprise. It's not like Serena had given any warnings that she had recently watched Molly Ringwald in "Pretty In Pink" or was reading "Catwoman" comic books.

There's no word as of yet on when Serena will return to competitive play. It'll come in time. For now, just seeing her on the court with a racquet in her hand is good news enough.

Hot Andre Agassi, Rare Photo Collection....





By the age of 10, Andre was beating fellow up-and-coming US players including Pete Sampras, Jim Courier and Michael Chang. Aged 13, he'd simply learned all he could from his dad.






Having enrolled in the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Florida at the age of 13, Andre excelled and turned pro when he was only 16. Six championship wins in 1988 saw him quickly rise to number 4 in the rankings. However, despite attracting a fair amount of press attention for his fashion sense and bad boy image, Andre had to wait until 1992 for his first big win.

















A return to form saw Andre win two straight Australian Open championships in 2000 and 2001. During 2001, he won 49 career singles championships and $23,502,790 in prize money. He had a record of 689 wins and 220 losses in singles matches.





Agassi has been called the best service returner in the history of the game.




Agassi married tennis player Steffi Graf in 2001 and the couple have two children. While continuing to play, off the court he devotes much time to the Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation.



Winning his eighth Grand Slam title at the Australian Open and his sixth Miami Masters in 2003, he surpassed his wife Steffi Graf who is five-time winner of the event. In 2004, Agassi won the Cincinnati Masters and in 2005, he left Nike after a 17-year alliance, and signed an endorsement deal with Adidas.



After twenty years in professional tennis, on 24 June 2004 Agassi announced he would be retiring from tennis following the 2006 US Open. His final match was against Benjamin Becker on 3 September 2006 and Agassi lost in four sets, in the third round. He bade the crowd an emotional goodbye with the following words: “The scoreboard says I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesn’t say is what it is I have found. Over the last twenty-one years, I have found loyalty: you have pulled for me on the court and also in life. I have found inspiration: you have willed me to succeed, sometimes even in my lowest moments. And I’ve found generosity: you have given me your shoulders to stand on to reach for my dreams, dreams I could never have reached without you. Over the last twenty-one years, I have found you and I will take you and the memory of you with me for the rest of my life. Thank you.”
