Sharapova set to wow crowds with a corset dress
January 15, 2007 
Tennis superstar Maria Sharapova is set to bring a sense of glamour to this year's Australian Open, with a brand new corset-style dress.
Proving that corsets are currently the height of fashion, the teen tennis ace will be appearing in a figure-hugging corset dress when she kicks off her assault on the event on Tuesday.
The Australian Open number one seed has described the new dress as "a pretty classy dress, lemon chiffon colour".
She added: "There's a little corset detail in the back."
Nike, Sharapova's sponsors and the company behind the new dress, apparently expects that the dress will cause a sensation at the event, although it is understood that the fashion statement will face some tough competition from Serena Williams, who is known for her surprising on-court clothing at big tournaments.
