Serena added that while they never played together in the past, they worked well together and took the game very seriously.

"I think it worked out well, We had never played together, so it is always a learning curve. We wanted to start fast and we take it very seriously."

Tennis Royalty

Two days prior to their match, Serena Williams made a statement during her test match against Italian Giulia Gatto-Monticone by reminding everyone that she is Tennis royalty.

She took on the match in a white ribbed tennis dress that had the swoosh, Nike's iconic logo, covered in Swarovski crystals.

The custom piece symbolized her return as one of the tennis greats and is a collaboration between Nike and Virgil Abloh, two brands that Serena has been patronizing for years. They decided to call the mash-up "Broosh," something that mixed both brooch and swoosh.

A Hungry Comeback

The custom piece was bedazzled with 34 Swarovski crystals, representing Serena's age when she won the London Slam back in 2016, her last major win in the past couple of years.

Now, it seems she is making a statement day after day, proving that she is indeed back, and people can expect more wins from her following her mixed-double win with Andy Murray.
