"Venus Williams has designed a line of athletic wear, Eleven, featuring chic tennis dresses, leggings, and fitted tees in bold prints and gorgeous colors. Over summer cocktails at The Strand Hotel, T&amp;amp;amp;C lobbed her a few fuzzy balls about the tournament, the tennis catwalk, and why she has such a bounce in her step. T&amp;amp;amp;C: You are so glamorous. VW: And sporty, too! T&amp;amp;amp;C: Goes without saying. As a terrible tennis player who still tries... VW: Sometimes I&amp;#039;m terrible. My last tournament\u2014I put it out of my mind. But I&amp;#039;m excited for the Open. Look at our models. They&amp;#039;re not tennis players but we are always looking for strong, healthy, happy women. We want to show women of different sizes, different looks, different colors. That&amp;#039;s important to me because I want people to see themselves in the clothes. T&amp;amp;amp;C: Have you ever had any fashion mishaps? VW: Only one! I was wearing a strappy dress and I was running for a shot. One of the straps broke! I don&amp;#039;t know how I did this, but as it broke I crossed my arms. I ran off the court and got a new dress. Thankfully there was no exposure. T&amp;amp;amp;C: Who are the most elegant tennis players? VW: Chris Evert was very elegant. Roger Federer. Sports and elegance don&amp;#039;t always mix but sometimes they do. My nails are halfway done today. I had a crystal tattoo on my wrist and it&amp;#039;s coming off.  T&amp;amp;amp;C: What&amp;#039;s on your iPod? That&amp;#039;s a nice case. VW: The cases that are cute are the ones you can&amp;#039;t drop. All the ones you can drop, they&amp;#039;re not cute. I&amp;#039;d rather break the phone than get a case that&amp;#039;s not cute. Let&amp;#039;s see\u2014I&amp;#039;m listening to &amp;quot;I Don&amp;#039;t Care&amp;quot; by Icona Pop, &amp;quot;Cherub Rock&amp;quot; by Smashing Pumpkins, &amp;quot;Good Life&amp;quot; by Paradise (Inner City).  T&amp;amp;amp;C: Are these victory anthems? VW: Sometimes they&amp;#039;re just to get out of bed. Sometimes I don&amp;#039;t want to get up\u2014I want to sleep! I like a lot of House lately. &amp;quot;Me and You&amp;quot; by Nero. Sometimes I listen to old songs and I&amp;#039;m really into them. &amp;quot;Blurred Lines&amp;quot; by Robin Thicke. T&amp;amp;amp;C: That&amp;#039;s what&amp;#039;s happening when you hit a winner. VW: Exactly! &amp;amp;lt;br&amp;amp;gt; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
