Serena Williams meets her match at Madame Tussauds

In conjunction with the US Open, Serena Williams' wax figure was unveiled at the Madame Tussauds, in NYC yesterday.

Serena's wax figure shows her wearing a replica of the outfit which she wore during the 2004 US Open, a Nike denim tennis skirt, with a black Nike sports top and sports shoes.

Can you tell which one is really ME?

Other tennis icons who have their own wax figures include Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova.

If you're planning a party or gathering with friends and family over the weekend, why not serve them up with the official 2009 US Open cocktail, Grey Goose "Honey Deuce".

This is the third year that Grey Goose will partner with the USTA.

Here's the recipe for those who would like to experiment mixology at home,:

1 1/4 part Grey Goose® Original Vodka
2 parts fresh lemonade
1/2 part Chambord® raspberry liquor
Frozen honeydew melon balls

1. Fill a highball or double old-fashioned glass with crushed ice.
2. Add Grey Goose Vodka and fill the rest of the cup with lemonade to a half inch below the rim.
3. Drizzle Chambord over the top.

4. Garnish with frozen honeydew melon balls.

Cheers!

Have a good weekend & Happy Independence Day to my fellow Malaysians!
