Maria Sharapova, the winner of three Grand Slam singles titles in tennis and the # 3 seed at this year’s Wimbledon, was upset in the second round by a 6-2, 6-4 loss to Alla Kudryavtseva who is ranked # 154 in the world. Among the things that motivated Ms Kudryavtseva to beat the fashionable 2004 Wimbledon champ was the tuxedo style tennis outfit that Sharapova wore. 

Kudryavtseva was asked if she was glad to have beaten Sharapova, and said, "Yes", following it with a long pause, after which she explained smilingly that this was because "I don’t like her outfit".

Hmm. I wonder if Kudryavtseva will take similar offense with the Williams sisters in case she faces one or both of them during the course of the tournament. Sisters Venus and Serena are well known for their flashy sartorial style on the court. They are also known for their fierce playing style.
