Serena Williams won the first round of the Australian Open with ease. The American showed not only a strong performance, but also a special outfit.
Even more than with her easy win against Laura Siegemund, Serena Williams once again caused a sensation with an extravagant outfit.
In her 6: 1, 6: 1 against the German Fed Cup player, the 39-year-old US tennis star wore an asymmetrically cut catsuit in the colors black, pink and red at the Australian Open on Monday – inspired by the former American athlete Florence Griffith-Joyner.
“She was a great athlete. When I grew up, I always saw her fashion, her great outfits that she changed often,” said Williams in the digital press conference when asked about her one-piece suit with one short and one long leg has been. When her supplier suggested this collection to her, she just thought, “Oh my god, it’s brilliant.”
Williams also showed her outfit on Instagram, which impressed with the strong colors. The former world number one Caroline Wozniacki also commented three times on the fire emoji. The official Instagram page of the Australian Open also posted a photo of the tennis icon and wrote: “This is an outfit for the court.”
Zverev im Basketball-Outfit
But not only the 23-time Grand Slam tournament winner surprised on the first day of the tournament. Germany’s top player Alexander Zverev wore a tank top and pants with a slightly wider cut in the style of a professional basketball player. “You have to get used to it,” said the 23-year-old from Hamburg with a smile. “It is different.”
His supplier is always looking for people who like to try something, “and I’m someone who likes to try something,” said the world number seven after his success against the American Marcos Giron. In the Australian summer in Melbourne he also “trained a lot without sleeves”, reported Zverev. “I feel relatively comfortable in the outfit. For me it’s really cool.”
