Serena Williams Ad Too Hot for TV

Always fashion forward, Serena Williams has never been shy about flaunting her game, her style and her body on the tennis court. But it seems that a little Serena goes a little too far in a recent ad for the upcoming Top Spin 4 video game.

Dressed in a black leotard and stockings, Williams (labeled in the commercial as "The World's Sexiest Tennis Player) squares off against an equally seductively dressed Rileah Vanderbilt ("The World's Sexiest Tennis Gamer") over a backdrop of pulsating techno music and grunts that are more reminiscent of bedroom sports than outdoor ones.

The ad was actually rejected by 2K Sports - who produced the game for the Wii, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 - but was uploaded to the internet by Vanderbilt who later tweeted the link. Since then neither Vanderbilt nor Williams has commented on the commercial.

I don't know if it makes me want to buy a tennis-themed video game. But it would make me less likely to zoom past this commercial on the DVR.

Wednesday's Birthday Shout-Out: Johnny Mac and His Axe

Do a quick YouTube search for John McEnroe and you'll find plenty of montage videos about the tennis great's famous tantrums.

(I recently learned when challenging a call in tennis, "Are you sure?" is the proper etiquette. "You can not be serious!" is not. Who knew?)

Just when I thought I'd be spending all morning going through tantrum videos to find just the right one, I came across something interesting. I had no idea he was a pretty talented guitarist. So in honor of Johnny Mac's 52nd birthday, I give you this pretty cool video of McEnroe alongside Rob Thomas imitating another famous left-hander...


McEnroe's got it like that? You can not be serious!
