    THIS is what you get when you hire Venus Williams as your interior decorator: an enthusiastic designer who has travelled the world, drawing inspiration from Moscow to Beijing, but who never quite had time to complete formal training; a team of professionals working with her; and a place on a client list that includes celebrities and professional athletes.

    And, of course, you get Venus Williams.

    She's one of the great tennis players of all time: seven Grand Slam singles titles, an Olympic gold medal, a woman who changed the face of modern tennis. Her father gave her a racket when she was just four years old and told her she was going to become the best player in the world.
