Venus Williams will be the featured player during Ralph Lauren's second virtual Legends Clinic Thursday, August 26, 2010 to be broadcast live from New York SPORTIME Tennis Center in New York. Tune in on your PC or hand-held at 2 pm EST on Ralph Lauren or m.ralphlauren.com/USOpen (for mobile devices).This is the retailer's first virtual clinic based in the US.
The seven-time Grand Slam Champion will answer questions, offer tennis tips and demonstrate techniques as a teaching pro would do for you on court. If you have a burning question, submit it here, and she may answer it. Keep your questions tennis technique related and you'll have the best chance of being selected.
And what will she wear you ask? No lace or frill here. Here's the dress (left). No she will not wear this at the US Open but it's a new limited edition tennis dress designed by Ralph Lauren in partnership with William's EleVen line, $198.
Looks more Ralph than Venus to me but I like it. Pretty preppy but cute. A special edition co-branded polo will also be available,$98. Look for both pieces starting August 26.
Buy the co-branded items at Ralph Lauren or at the US Open Polo Ralph Lauren Shop at the Open.
