Venus Williams won her French Open first-round match yesterday, but the spotlight was on what she was wearing — and not wearing. The No. 2 seed sported a lacy black gear with underpinnings similar to the ones that caused a stir at the Australian Open by creating the illusion that she was going commando.

The get-up is "about illusion," Williams said. Well, all right, then.

Venus Williams while returning the ball to Switzerland's Patty Schnyder during their first-round match in the French Open at Roland Garros in Paris, displayed more than she intended.

But what a win, irrespective of the lady's creative wardrobe.
