Tennis ace Venus Williams showed off more than her eye-popping backhand at the French Open on Sunday. Just a few months after making headlines with another bizarre design from her sportswear collection
— stunning everyone with nude undies at the Australian Open — Williams turned heads again after wearing a lacy black Fredericks of Hollywood-esque corset with spaghetti straps, red trim, and nude underwear to grasp a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Patty Schnyder in the opening round.

Nope — that wasn’t Venus Williams’ natural black ass playing peek-a-boo with us during last week’s Australian Open. But it sure looks like it.

The 29-year-old tennis ace caused a stir after the flesh-colored underwear she was wearing as part of an outfit that she designed herself gave the appearance that she had gone commando on the asphalt.

“My dress for the Australian Open has been one of my best designs ever! It’s all about the slits and V-neck. I am wearing undershorts the same color as my skin, so it gives the slits in my dress the full effect!” Venus Tweeted this week.

“This is completely my design,” she added. “I just sketched it out. The whole idea is just about the illusion that I’m wearing a deep V-neck. Then the idea was to wear shorts that were like the same color as my skin. It works very well, apparently.”

The deal makes the Palm Beach Gardens residents and Wimbledon champions the first African-American women to hold an ownership stake in a NFL franchise.

“I am so excited to be part of such a renowned organization,” says Serena. “Having spent so much of my childhood in the area, being involved with a staple of Miami culture is a huge honor. We look forward to many championships and much success together with the Miami Dolphins.”

Big sister Venus agrees. “I am honored to be a partner in the Miami Dolphins franchise and thankful to owner Stephen Ross for allowing Serena and I to be part of Miami Dolphins history.”
