USA Serena Williams wins US open match in designer tutu following catsuit ban

Serena Williams wore a black, ruffled tutu on the court at the US Open on Monday night in her first match of the tournament against Magda Linette of Poland, which Williams won in straight sets, 6-4, 6-0.

The 17th seeded Williams ditched the controversial black catsuit that she wore in her matches at the 2018 French Open, earlier this summer.

While fans and the media praised the catsuit look, French Tennis Federation (FTF) president Bernard Giudicelli said in a Tennis Magazine interview published last week that it won’t be back.

“I think we sometimes went too far,” he said. “Serena’s outfit this year, for example, would no longer be accepted. You have to respect the game and the place.”

Williams said to reporters that the decision was "not a big deal" and that “the Grand Slams have the right to do what they want to do".

"If they ( know that some things are for health reasons then there's no way that they wouldn't be ok with it," she added.

After the match, the new mum said the suit was functional and helped with blood clots she developed after giving birth.
