Venus and Serena Williams get art-school cool with their newest racquets.
Wilson is expanding its W racquet line for women with two new models designed exclusively for Venus and Serena Williams. The W5 Divine Iris is made for Venus and will have specifications identical to her previous racquet, the n4. The design of the frame is inspired by her favorite painter, Gustav Klimt. The W3 Gypsy Rose will be used by Serena and matches the playing characteristics of the n3. The coloring and graphics are influenced by her style icons Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton. Both racquets will hit retailers in July and cost $270. For information, visit www.wilson.com.
