Venus Williams stunned the crowd at the Australian Open in Melbourne by apparently playing a match without any underwear on.
But the seven-times Grand Slam winner later clarified on her Twitter page that she was in fact wearing a flesh-coloured top and shorts that she designed herself during her fourth-round clash with Francesco Schiavone.
"This is completely my design," she said of the outfit, which made her appear to be bra-less and knicker-less out on court.
"It was one of my old sketches and kind of got recycled and I kind of sat on it for a while.
"Finally it came out. The whole idea is just about an illusion.
"Obviously the most effective part of the illusion are the slits. Then the idea was to wear shorts that were like the same colour as my skin, so it works very well apparently."
