Women's tennis: Gosh! how its look has changed over the years.

From floor-grazing skirts and long sleeves to skirts and shorter skirts. And even shorter and tighter skirts in recent times.

At this year's Australian Open, the ladies brought back shorts centrestage.

Laxmi Negi glances at the ladies who have rocked Melbourne Park. By their shorts, folks, not shots :))

It was heartbreak for Petra Kvitova as she crashed out of the Australian Open in the first round. But she did leave a fashionable impression, in her pink number.
