The NY Times is reporting that Serena Williams will now be the face of Tampax Tampons.

Yes, you read correctly.

The self-made (and short-tempered) tennis champion has agreed to represent the brand of feminine hygiene products in print ads and web-only videos.

“This is pretty encouraging for the feminine care category,” says Ms. Schuster [of Proctor & Gamble, Tampax's parent company]. “A lot of celebrities are not open to working with our brand, and we’re thrilled that Serena is.”

Does Serena's endorsement sway you either way?

They won an Olympic Gold Medal for their skills on the court, but do Venus and Serena make the cut when it comes to their hair?

I think that they've each succeeded in finding a functional look that expresses their personal sense of style, which can't be easy when competing next to your sibling! Both ladies also have healthy-looking, lustrous hair, and that's a major accomplishment for an athlete, as their tresses can take a good deal of abuse during those years of rigorous training. All things considered, I'd give the Williams sisters the [Hair's the Scoop] gold.

What do you think, do you love or hate these looks on our two tennis champions?
