The Williams sisters are known for being powerhouses in tennis, but they've also become known for some making some controversial fashion decisions on the court. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that the oldest of the athletic superstars, Venus, wore a back-baring sequin outfit during her U.S. Open match against Shahar Peer Sunday. Williams said she wore the design in honor of the Big Apple.
