Serena, Venus downed in Italian exhibition
London - AFP
Italian pair Francesca Schiavone and Flavia Pennetta upset Venus and Serena Williams in a challenge match in Milan on Saturday. The Italians triumphed 3-2 in the Fed Cup-style match that was played only over tie-breaks. Schiavone, the 2010 French Open winner, beat both Williams sisters in her singles matches while Pennetta beat Venus but lost to Serena. However, in the eagerly-anticipated doubles contest it was the Olympic champion Williams sisters -- who have 20 Grand Slam singles titles between them, 12 doubles titles together and four mixed doubles titles -- who came from a set down to win.

The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
