Italian tennis great Lea Pericoli died at the age of 89 on Friday, the Italian tennis federation said.
    Pericoli, who was born 22 March 1935 in MIlan, was a top tennis player in the 1950 and 60s and later a popular television presenter and journalist.
    She reached the last sixteen of the French Open two times and the Wimbledon Championships three times, and was also famous for her choice of clothing, which brought a frilly frisson to the game.
