Ground Report

Tennis champ Serena Williams had quite an embarassing moment when on a date with her new man Common on Monday. Serena was photographed wearing a ropey old laddered pair of tights which was clearly ripped off ,an english paper report as quoted. And as she hurried into her hotel, with her head down, she clearly looked embarrassed at being caught in a state of disrepair. The 26-year-old reigning Australian Open champ was seen returning from a night out with rumoured new beau, rapper Common, to her swanky St Martin’s Lane hotel, in London’s West End. But her normally slick look was ruined by the highly-visible ladders which, unfortunately, started at the knee of her black opaque tights. It appears that Serena and Grammy award nominee Common, 35, who has duetted with singer Lily Allen, and appears in new Denzel Washington film American Gangster, are an item. The pair — who appeared together in Common’s latest video ‘I Want You’ — were spotted holding hands recently and getting ‘very close’ at a party hosted for her sister Venus Williams, to celebrate the launch of her clothing line ‘Eleven’, at popular New York nighclub Tenjune.
