Bethanie Mattek enjoyed just 52 minutes of action as she was blitzed 6-1 6-0 by Venus Williams. But, while the American made little impact on court, she did make a splash in the fashion department.
With knee-length white socks and tight football shorts, we described her in our live gamewatch as looking "like a young Bette Midler would if she had played midfield for Don Revie's Leeds team of the 1970s". http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smilol.gif http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smilol.gif http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smilol.gif
Mattek's defence was that she was "going for a soccer theme". http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smilol.gif
Of course this is not the first time the 21-year-old has earned the wrath of the fashion police.
At last year's US Open, she was fined for wearing a cowboy hat.
But Mattek admitted she only got interested in fashion when she moved from Wisconsin to Miami.
"I think I have a bit of different look," she added.
"Believe it or not, I used not to be fashion-conscious when I lived in Wisconsin."
