Caption competition 25 winner
Send us your caption...whatever springs to mind
While Venus Williams struggled to get past the unheard of Maria Jose Martinez, many in the crowd were more worried about her modesty than her tournament chances.

Who came up with the wittiest words to accompany this picture?


From Anna Kournikova's yellow number to Mary Pierce's shocking pink outfit, this year's Australian Open has not failed to deliver in the fashion stakes.

But Venus Willams stole the show with the black and blue split top number pictured above.

BBC Sport Online asked you to get your thinking caps on and e-mail us with your funny picture captions.

As usual you flooded the mailbox with entries.

And this weeks winner is..Scott Minto from England who thought the caption should be...

"Proof that Venus hasn't got as much support as she used to"

Well done to Scott who'll be receiving the exclusive BBC Sport Online goodie bag in the post.

And don't forget, a new Caption Competition will be on its way very soon.


Here's a selection of the best of the rest.
