But by far the most extravagant player right now is the 26-year-old Mattek-Sands, the current number 31 in the world. Recently she teamed up with top designer Alex Noble. Noble is known for several extreme creations he made for Lady Gaga. He is also responsible for the bold blue leather creation that she wore in the video Judas.
