New York, Sept 5 : Lady Gaga of Tennis Bethanie Mattek-Sands has hit the courts of the US Open in one of the wildest outfits that the tournament has ever seen- an eye-popping leopard-print dress.

The attire showed off her bicep tattoos, gold headbands, colourful knee-high socks and artistic black eye.

The 26-year-old, who at No. 35 is the second-highest ranked American female tennis player after Serena Williams, revealed that she decided to become a `Fashion Don''t' to stand out from other players.

"I remember watching a match on TV, and the two girls playing were both blond, dressed head to toe in the exact same thing, and I couldn''t tell them apart," the New York Post quoted her as saying.

"I was like, `No way, never again'," she added. (ANI)
