The Williams Sisters Fashion and Style

The "Williams sisters," which refers to Venus Williams and Serena Williams had amazingly smashed the tennis world with both their names written on the history of the said sport as the siblings who are already considered as the two of the bests. Let's take a look at both of their profiles, eh.

Serena Williams

The former World No.1 tennis player and currently the World No.10 despite the foot injury she has for quite a year. Still she managed to be considered to be one of the greatest women's tennis players of all-time in a career hampered by numerous injuries.

Venus Williams

Currently ranked as World No. 15 in singles and World No. 20 in doubles of the tennis world. Like her sibling, she is also considered to be one of the greatest women's tennis players of all time.

Looking unto their profiles and reputations, there is no doubt that both these siblings are real good when it comes to the sports of tennis. Yet, they are not only famous for the reason of their tennis skills but also because of their unusual and colorful styles and fashion sense in the court. Let’s take a look at their styles and sportswears.

Serena Williams

In 2002, there was much talk when she wore a black lycra catsuit at the US Open. At Wimbledon in 2008, the white trench coat she wore during warm-up for her opening match was the subject of much discussion since it was worn despite the sunny weather. Williams is known for much more than just her punishing serves. She has always taken to the court with loud outfits. Some are delightful in their color. Others are a bit off putting for the tackiness. You have to respect that she has a style of her own though.

Venus Williams

Not discounting her skills on the tennis court but her outfits which are becoming shorter as she grows older is something else. No doubt Venus Williams’ is a great tennis player but her fashion sense is something that can be remedied. Looking back on interviews with her about her sport wear apparel I would say she really makes it a point to amaze people, some may say she wants to grab the attention and in this she succeeds. But, not all her sportswear outfits are controversial. Some of them, especially when she was younger, looked really great on her.

Tennis Players on the News

Serena Williams, the famous woman who wears sports apparel for the tennis world, was hospitalized for pulmonary embolism after she walked the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party.

What is Pulmonary Embolism?According to the L.A. Times pulmonary embolism are blood clots in the arteries of the lungs — and they often originate in the legs, travelling up to the lungs.

The former World No.1 of tennis game "underwent emergency treatment at Cedars for a hematoma she suffered as a result of treatment for a more critical situation."

This was the statement from Ms Williams after the incident:

"Thank you everyone for all of your prayers, concerns, and support. This has been extremely hard, scary, and disappointing. I am doing better, I'm at home now and working with my doctors to keep everything under control. I know I will be ok, but am praying and hoping this will all be behind me soon. While I can't make any promises now on my return, I hope to be back by early summer. That said, my main goal is to make sure I get there safely."

Hope she gets well soon. The tennis world will always wait for her return. :)

Meanwhile, another woman of tennis, Maria Sharapova, change her clothes from sports apparel to a fashionable one for the March edition of Russian Tattler, where she will be featured.

Based from her, the shoot was done "months ago," and that "we tried to do something very different. I hope you enjoy it."

She looks amazingly beautiful yet some of her dresses on that mag are not that gorgeous to behold.

Caroline Wozniaki's Sportswear Dress

The Australian Open has finally "opened"! With Rafael Nadal and Caroline Wozniacki holding the title for the World's top ranked tennis player, the matches and games that will be going to happen will be a great and anticipating sight to see. In the meantime, however, Roger Federer, the former World's no. 1 and now No. 2 tennis player, men division, had been with an easy match and easy game, winning against Lukas Lacko, making him the number one competitor of Rafa. While Wozniacki in her gorgeous sportswear, played her first Grand Slam with the No. 1 ranking, has advanced to the second round of the Australian Open with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Gisela Dulko of Argentina.





Speaking of Wozniaki's sportswear, unlike her gray armadillo dress last US open, she is now wearing Stella McCartney-designed ballerina dress. Tennis player in a ballerina dress, eh. Though the sportswear dress is more feminine than her dress last US open, it earned disapproval too, especially from some sports and fashion bloggers throughout the web. Let me quote one of those critics:

But then I looked again and saw the ridiculous waistline, which is jacked up Urkel-style and appears to be inspired by the edge of a birthday cake. (McCartney says she wanted the waistline to "redefine and challenge traditional sports silhouettes.") And then there's the pleating and the blood orange wrist bands. It's not bad, per se, but it's not exactly flattering either.

Let me remind you, dear readers, that tennis game is not just about sports but style nowadays.  Remember the criticism on Serena Williams’s sportswear or her sister’s dress? Well, the siblings didn’t mind anyway.  Though personally speaking, I didn’t mind the dress too, but the play. The play and the game matters most.  Thus, I’m looking forward for Rafa and Federer to play against each other and for Wozniaki on defending her title.  Guess, I’ll be blogging more on tennis updates the next time I post here.  So, till next time folks.
