Serena Williams quickly found her range as the former champion moved safely into the second round on Tuesday. Just the day after her sister Venus was bundled out in the first round, restored family honor with a 6-2 6-4 defeat of battling Czech Barbora Zahlavova Strycova. Yes, Serena got the job done, which she couldn't say the last time she was at a major championship. As always the most interesting part of her opener was her clothing. This was what she wore during her warm up.
What might we call this? A"warmup jacket"?
She has been known to wear some unimaginable sports gear like........
It's not just her clothings that get the feel from her fashion wand, her nails too
However the "warmup jacket" owes its inspiration to her famous Trenchcoat of the 2008 Wimbledon.
Here is what she said led to the evolution of the trench coat in 2008
“I was talking to Nike, I walked in, had this great coat on there and they said we should do a coat like this for Wimbledon,” explained Serena about the evolution of this coat. “I was like, Okay, cool. I was really all about it. Now I have a wonderful white coat I can wear on the court and also, you know, in New York for those rainy days. “
Meanwhile, Venus and Serena will play doubles together at the olympics, they'll both be in Nike dresses, as Nike is Serena's apparel sponsor.
As usual, Polo Ralph Lauren continues to be official uniform supplier for ball boys and girls.
Well here is a little fact for you - Do you know that girls were not allowed until 1977, and that it was 1985 before they appeared on Centre Court? Well now you know!!! :)
