Just last week, the catsuit that Serena Williams wore at this year's French Open was banned by the French tennis federation FFT and its president Bernard Giudicelli with new dress codes.
The catsuit had not only fashionable reasons but primarily health. After the birth of her daughter, Serena Williams suffered from blood clots. The compression suit was designed to promote the circulation of the tennis player. Serena Williams reacted calmly to the ban. At a press conference at the US Open, she said, "Guys, everything's alright!" And: "When it comes to fashion, I do not want to be a repeat offender."
In the midst of the controversy over her clothing, the American tennis player responded with irony to the censorship of her clothing. After the controversy that led to her return to competition last year, when she appeared in Roland Garros in her postpartum costume, which consisted of a black jumpsuit that covered practically her entire body, the tennis player Serena Williams played her first US game. Open with a tutu.
To all this, Nike offered his support with an equally powerful message on his Twitter account: "Superheroes can take their suit, but never their powers." Without a doubt, Serena Williams will continue to be our superhero, with or without attire. Serena was involved in a sexist controversy in recent days, as a result of statements by the president of the French Tennis Federation, Bernard Giudicelli, who said that the Roland Garros tournament will release a dress code next year to regulate the dress of the players because "sometimes it has come very far".
In an interview for the issue number 500 of Tennis magazine, Giudicelli pointed to the postpartum suit that Williams wore this year in the Parisian open and that the American said that made her feel like a superhero. " It will not be accepted, you have to respect the sport and the place, " said Giudicelli.
After the statements, the American, one of the best tennis players in history, decided to answer with a strong irony: "When it comes to fashion, you do not want to be a recidivist. " He added: "It will be a while until it reappears," he said of the black catsuit.
The American tennis player Serena Williams returned to the courts with a full suite of black lycra. Bernard Giudicelli, the organizer of Roland Garros, described his clothes as "unacceptable". Here you discover why. The shocking piece was news for days, initially to resemble the characters in the movie 'Black Panther'. However, it later turned into bitter statements: "I think sometimes we have come a long way, this year's Serena Williams team will not be accepted anymore, we have to respect the game and the place," said Bernard Giudicelli, president of the French Tennis Federation and organizer of the Roland Garros.
The messages against were not long in coming, because it seems that Giudicelli did not take into account that the dress of Serena Williams went beyond a fashionable concept; It was a matter of health. The suit was designed by Nike especially for the tennis player with the function of preventing the formation of blood clots, a condition suffered by Williams.
The American is the most successful tennis player in the world. Her intoxicating success statistics: she has won 23 Grand Slam titles in the course of her career! And incidentally, the important places in the tennis world with lots of colors and extravagant outfits conquered. Skewy and pitty white was The color in tennis for decades. The women in short skirts, the men in shorts. Everything as clean and unobtrusive as possible. But tennis goddess Serena started releasing her hard-core muscles from the standard outfits pretty early.
