Conan Beats Serena At Tennis?

Talk show host Conan O'Brien challenged tennis star Serena William to a tennis match on last night's "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" - but there was a catch.

Noting that there was no way to fit a regulation tennis court on the "Late Night" stage, O'Brien said that they would be playing … Nintendo Wii Sports Tennis.

Williams accepted the challenge and stepped on to the stage with O'Brien to begin the game.

Conan stripped off his suit, revealing tennis whites, much to William's amusement and the delight of the audience.

As the game was displayed on a giant screen behind them, O'Brien and Williams swung their Wii controllers in the air as little animated versions of them played out the game.

"I'm wearing my outfit from the Australian open," Williams laughed as she observed the on-screen player she controlled.

Gritting his teeth and letting out a hearty growl with every swing, O'Brien battled his way to a win over the tennis champion.

"That's my dream come true," said the triumphant talk show host as a good-natured Williams broke into laughter.
