Venus Williams zipped through the first round at Wimbledon after unveiling a typically flamboyant outfit with a "peek-a-boo" back as the former champion made a winning start to her bid for a sixth title.

Venus sauntered to her seat on Court Two ahead of her 6-3, 6-1 straight sets win over Uzbekistan's Akgul Amanmuradova wearing an extravagant white creation bearing the EleVen logo of her own fashion label. With a large opening in the back of her top and some lace-style embroidery, as well as a zip down the front and across the hips, it looked like Venus was wearing a pair of net curtains rather than a tennis outfit. The diva image was completed by a pair of shorts and a bling handbag. "It's just a trendy dress. I'm really into zippers, so it has a focal point of a zipper in the front. It's just fun," said Venus.
