Tennis, always of interest for the on-court sartorial choices of its players, kicked it up a notch at the Women's Tennis Association's Pre-Wimbledon Party in London on June 16. American Bethanie Mattek-Sands turned heads in a tennis-ball confection whipped up by Lady Gaga's designer, Alex Noble. Art Seitz/Splash News/Newscom
Looking every inch the fashion model she is when not swinging a racquet, Russian Maria Sharapova strikes a pose in a flirty Alexander McQueen frock. If the dress were white and she swapped those Nicholas Kirkwood heels for sneakers, this look could work on the Wimbledon grass. Art Seitz/Splash News/Newscom
American Serena Williams shines in an emerald Burberry sheath, proving that a lady can be athletic and glamorous. Art Seitz/Splash News/Newscom
American Venus Williams lives up to her name in goddess-like white and gold. Ms. Williams is known for her flamboyant fashion statements on the tennis court; although this dress is regulation Wimbledon white, one lunge would be the end of it. Ian Lawrence/Splash News/Newscom
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova goes for retro chic in David Koma. Ranked 14th in the world, the promising young Russian is a social media maven, keeping fans up to date via Facebook, Twitter, and a blog. Art Seitz/Splash News/Newscom
Former world number one, Serbian Jelena Jankovic looks confident in a fire engine-red dress by Vivienne Westwood, a designer known more for punk rock eclecticism than the classical drapery seen here. Art Seitz/Splash News/Newscom
The stylish Serbian Ana Ivanovic wears a Matthew Williamson design and a winning smile. She is featured in the Women's Tennis Association's 2011 advertising campaign, 'Strong is beautiful,' holding a racquet while a wind machine billows her hair, dress, and scarf. Art Seitz/Splash News/Newscom
Legendary Vogue magazine editor Diana Vreeland once called pink the navy blue of India for its ubiquity in that country. Indian Sania Mirza, undeterred by the tan lines from her socks and wristband, looks anything but subdued in this vibrant number. Art Seitz/Splash News/Newscom
Ukrainian-born Russian Elena Vesnina looks perfectly balanced in an asymmetrical orange cocktail dress. Like the other young women pictured here, she embraces her femininity while pushing herself to be the best athlete she can be. Art Seitz/Splash News/Newscom
