BEHIND HER CONTROVERSIAL CATSUIT
Meanwhile, the S by Serena Williams founder had worn another type of tight outfit during the 2018 French Open. Many fans thought it was a refreshing look, but to the tennis organizers, it was controversial.
Bernard Giudicelli, the French Tennis Federation president, shared in a past interview that Williams's "Wakanda-inspired outfit" will no longer be accepted in the tournament.
If she wears the catsuit again, Williams will be banned from the tournament. Giudicelli thought the outfit had "gone too far," and one must respect the game and the place.
For her part, Williams wore the suit for health reasons as she had issues with her blood clots in the past year. It may be a fun suit, but it helped her blood circulation going.
