PARIS - Just because you spend hours sweating on tennis courts all year round does not mean you cannot take care of yourself.
Serena Williams and Svetlana Kuznetsova reminded everyone on Friday that tennis players had a life away from the courts.
The world number one has been going to nail school, while the defending French Open champion is into tattoos and diamonds.
Serena got the idea earlier this season when she was sidelined with a knee injury, twiddling her thumbs in boredom.
Well, I was injured, and then I was twiddling my thumbs at home. I had nothing to do. I was just working out and just trying to get better," the American told reporters two days before the French Open starts.
"I was bored, and that's how I got into nail school kind of. First day was fun. It was easy. I'm really advanced, so I've had a lot of experience."
While Serena is seen as somehow coquettish, often wearing skintight outfits, including a leather-looking 'catsuit' she wore as a 17-year-old at the U.S. Open, Kuznetsova does not enjoy the same reputation.
The women's singles usually throws up surprise winners with Svetlana Kuznetsova beating Dinara Safina last year. But this year promises to be between the Williams sisters and the Belgians Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters.
The Russian, however, shares a few hobbies with Frenchman Gael Monfils.
"I think we're alike," she saud.
"We do like similar things, we like similar music. We like tattoos, cars, diamonds."
