Serena Williams made another fashion statement as she graced the courts of the Australian Open.
Williams wore a form-fitting green Nike romper along with fishnets during Tuesday’s match against Tatjana Maria. She had a special name for her get-up.
"It's a Serena-tard," she said at a press conference. Williams believes her look is “an incredibly strong, powerful statement for moms that are trying to get back and get fit," according to The Star.
A lot of people were digging the look including Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian.

The last time Williams competed, she snagged a victory while she was in her first trimester. She was unable to compete the following year due to life-threatening health issues she experienced during childbirth. Williams believes this match is her best one.
"I have so many good memories of the last time I was here, honestly, it's just literally the best win of my career."

"I think the last time I was here I was actually pregnant and playing at the same time," Williams said.
"It was weird walking out here on my own this time. It is great to be back. That was literally the greatest win of my career."
