No one quite owns a stage like Serena Williams. It’s in the swish of her skirt, the swing of her shots. The celebrated American was all over the Philippe Chatrier court in her third-round outing, racing and raging, grunting and grinding, pulling off a stunning 6-4, 6-4 win over compatriot Danielle Collins.
Williams’ shoes may have caught the attention of fashion police at the French Open. It flashes motivational slogans, read warnings, which translate to ‘I will not stop fighting’, besides the name of her three-year-old daughter Olympia. Dressed in a lime-green layered ensemble, perfect for a society brunch, the American, in pursuit of record-equaling 24th major title, got the job done in 85 minutes.
Williams has had little to fall back on by way of matches, coming into the clay-court Slam. “This whole week I just needed a win. I needed to win tough matches. I needed to win sets. I needed to win being down. I needed to find me, know who I am,” she said, adding, “Nobody else is Serena out here. It’s me. It’s pretty cool.”
