We may have found our answer to improve tennis television ratings. More slow motion booty shots.
Roger Rasheed, a former coach of Lleyton Hewitt turned broadcaster, was just watching tennis like the rest of us, male or female. As a slow motion replay of Venus Williams booty was queued up - which is hilarious by itself -- Rasheed quipped:

Even her sister Serena wasn't offended by the comments, in fact she added on:
“Venus definitely has a great posterior. I’m sure it looked nice.”It did.
