The sister of bummed-out tennis ace Venus Williams – Serena – has not bought into the controversy surrounding a line-ball comment by a Channel 7 tennis broadcaster about Venus’ bottom last night during a slow-mo replay.
Comments by tennis commentator Roger Rasheed about Venus Williams' bottom drew a number of complaints to the broadcaster last night, but Serena agreed with Rasheed.
Speaking after her second round victory over China's Yuan Meng, Ms Williams said her sister had a great “booty.”
“Venus definatelty has a great posterior… I am sure it looks nice,” she said.
Rasheed, who is a former coach of Lleyton Hewitt, made a salacious, sexually-laced comment during a slow motion replay of Williams' bottom, during her match against China's Yan Zi at the Australian Open.
"Take a look at this now. Make or think as you will, ladies, but for me, that's a pretty good sight,'' he told co-commentators Tracy Austin and Nicole Bradtke.
Websites reacted angrily and Channel 7 said last night there had been a number of calls of complaint, and no action would be taken against Rasheed.
