WHAT did you think of Serena Williams sporting a skintight catsuit at the French Open?
The American former No.1 player divided opinions on whether such an outfit was really suitable for the tennis court or not. However, she definitely showed that she wasn’t at all bothered by what people had to say by proving that she’s back at the top of her game following the birth of her daughter, Alexis, last September.
What may have surprised more people, though, was her revelation in Harper’s Bazaar magazine that she struggled with body confidence problems growing up with her “thin, tall and beautiful” sister, Venus.
The 36 year-old 23-times Grand Slam winner has always looked supremely confident and always seemed determined to win. So it is reassuring for the rest of the female world – especially those struggling with their own confidence – that someone as successful as Serena has managed to overcome her negative feelings and turn them into such a positive to become this amazing world champion. Long may her success continue.
