Fittingly Mad: Sore Losers
She has been railed on by the sports media. They have called her "classless" and "graceless," "sullen" and "sulking." Yep, I am talking about one of my fave tennis stars, Serena Williams and her sorry press conference after losing her quarterfinal match at the US Open.
Venus' Short Shorts: Cool or Not?
Tennis fashions have certainly evolved and come a long way from the pastels and "skirts only rules" for the ladies. You all loved Sharapova's red tennis dress, but tell me how you feel about the SHORT shorts Venus Williams wore during her last match at the US Open. No doubt she looks amazing, and by making it all the way to the semi-finals being seeded 12th in the tournament, we know Venus is one fierce competitor.
Are You Watching the U.S. Open?
Even though the finals are not until next weekend, Labor Day weekend is when I start to get fired up about the U.S. Open. This year the fashions might even rival the tennis with some of the top seeded players sporting some personal and stylish designs.

Venus Williams Launches EleVen Clothing Line
My girl, Venus Williams, has recently launched her new clothing line, EleVen in collaboration with Steve & Barry's.
While Williams is only wearing the V-Court pro sneaker at the U.S. Open, which is going on now, EleVen's launch collection will have more than 120 pieces.
Sharapova's Red Nike Tennis Dress: Cool or NOT?
Maria Sharapova, defending U.S. Open champion, is one sharp dresser. Her red tennis dress for nighttime play (she has a different outfit dedicated for daytime play) seems more evening gown than tennis dress, to me.
US Open, Opens Today!
Today is opening day of the US Open, the final event of Grand Slam tennis tournament season. The courts at Flushing Meadows have been busy over the weekend with qualifying rounds. Both of the Williams sisters will play today, which is beyond appropriate since it is the 50th anniversary of Althea Gibson’s first U.S.
