Venus and Serena Williams want to play 2012 London Olympics; Venus Williams almost had a Janet Jackson moment

Venus Williams almost had a Janet Jackson moment during a good-natured exhibition match against Italian tennis player Flavia Pennetta in Milan. The left strap on one of Venus' self-designed eleVen dresses snapped during the match, almost exposing some extra skin to the assembled crowd.
