The biggest story from the first day of play at the French Open has nothing to do with the outcome of the matches: It’s all about Venus Williams’ outfit. If you missed it, a photo:
USA Today has a poll running, asking America what they think of the outfit. The No. 1 response: "They should have made her change," with 42% of the vote. Had anyone watched the Madrid Open last week leading up to the French, they would have seen this coming: She wore the same dress, but in a different color. Maybe black is just too sexy for America.
Oh, and Venus won the match, 6-3, 6-3, but was less-than-dominating. Williams had 21 errors and threw in eight double faults. But she advanced and managed to piss off America’s delicate sensibilities, so a success all around.
