	Wimbledon: Martina Hingis and Venus Williams
		The 6'2" – gangly and lanky are favorite adjectives – dark Williams is a fine foil for the compact, fair Hingis: the angles of Venus's long legs and arms and the dramatic planes of her face contrast with the almost soft-looking roundness of Martina's face, arms, and thighs.
		Williams, on the other hand, is almost twinned by her tennis-playing sister, Serena; and Richard, her coach and father, claims that watching his daughter from courtside makes him too nervous.
		When they met, amid hype and ballyhoo, in the quarterfinals of the French Open, Williams wore a form-fitting, one-piece dress with an expanse of blue emphasizing her wide shoulders; Hingis appeared in a loose, two-piece outfit with vertical stripes down the sides.
