From tennis court to museum - how did Serena's catsuit make the leap?
WTASunday, 03 December 2023 at 09:55
Former world number one Serena Williams’s banned catsuit
from the 2018 French Open was featured in a high-end Paris museum.
The 42-year-old wore a controversial black cat body suit in 2018 during the Roland Garros. As per the recent report, that suit was recently featured in a Parisian museum.
Serena is often regarded as the greatest player in the history
of women’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 23 Grand Slam
titles. She retired from the sport in September 2022 after having to deal with
fitness concerns.
Serena’s most successful competitions were the Australian
Open and Wimbledon where she lifted the title seven times each. Her first title
triumph was way back in 1999 when she lifted the US Open after beating
Switzerland’s Martina Hingis in the final with a score of 6–3, 7-6.
Her last major title was the Australian Open in 2017 as she
defeated sister Venus Williams in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-4,
6-4. Serena also ended up winning four Olympic gold medals for the US as well.
Out of those, three were after winning in the doubles category
— in Sydney (2000), Beijing (2008) and London (2012). Serena also won the singles
category at the London Olympics in 2012.

- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026

mandoist08-09-2026 - Don't lay this shitshow on "Americans". It is a long-running Ego trip with WTA allowing these two Elitists 'in need of a Camera' illicit Wildcards. If these two clowns want to "perform" -- then play the qualies.mandoist08-09-2026

- One of the most amazing comebacks in a long, long time. It happens (and Keys shouldn't lose her crackers over this). If Madison starts playing Dress-up and walking out on court like some fantasy character with a Mental Problem... then she should really start worrying!mandoist06-09-2026
