Venus Williams' Australian Open Outfit: Underwear Or Commando? (PHOTOS)

Venus Williams is playing well at the Australian Open. She recently advanced to the second round by defeating Lucie Safarova, and she still sees tennis in her future. "I love playing. I want to win each tournament I play. I want to win the majors, play doubles and be in the Olympics," she said after her most recent victory.

But Williams is also drawing attention for her outfit during the match. The revealing dress displayed significant skin, and even led to a thorough examination of whether or not she wore underwear at the competition. Scroll down for pictures of the outfit.

No she wasn't, or they gave her a wedgie during the match and vanished. There is a shot after the match she is packing up her gear. The wind blew up her skirt from the back. The camera zoomed in and she was not wearing visible underwear. You got to see everything. They held the shot long enough for me to be able to check it on replay. I didn't see anything. Certainly not boy shorts or spandex anything. She might, might, have been wearing a thong that was wedged but I have to tell you, I doubt it. She looked like she was completely commando. It was 3:30 in the morning, my girlfriend missed it was watching the match but she had fallen asleep so there is no witness to what I saw so maybe it was wishful thinking on my part but honestly. Completely commando. The announcer stopped speaking. Like. Pause.... ten seconds of dead air.

This is just so stupid. Any normal person would realize that the shorts she is wearing matches the brown portion of the top that is visible. I guess some people are just not aware that skin tones do not necessarily mean pink............

WILSON!!!

She looks great, has the appropriate undergarments and is a great athlete. Can't wait for the summer games when she and her sister walk away with GOLD (the only color that matters there) for America.

Double standard! How is this more revealing than Anna Kournikova's recent outfit. Just trying to spin controversy around the Venus. Tacky.
