In 2003, when Venus walked onto Wimbledon in a beaded tennis skirt designed by top fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg, it was more like going to a party. The big earrings hanging on the ear are more like satellites rotating around the earlobe, and beautiful bracelets are also worn on the wrist. The bold jumpsuit skirt is in line with her strange style, which makes Williams confident at her graduation party celebrating the Institute of Fashion Technology. The four-time Wimbledon champion and fashion designer was recently selected as one of the top ten dresses of the year by Vogue.
Those beautiful tennis skirts may not help Venus play the best tennis, but Venus is more concerned about whether she is the most beautiful when playing. She owns an interior design company called "V. Starr Interior". In addition, Venus also owns its own fashion brand, and recently launched its own new fashion collection called "EleVen". Now, Venus is all the rage because of her uniqueness in the top ten best dressed people of the year selected by actors and models.
In the latest issue of Vogue magazine, Venus frolicking on the garden path in a red Versace dress is full of beauty and a little naive and unrealistic, while she is as proud as a swan in a white V-neck swimsuit. A photo with her dog Winston named "Independent" was selected by William Norwich as the top ten best innovations and fashions of the year.
But for David, it's not all fashion. She was just fascinated by the finished product. "I am addicted to products. I will try something new in my hair or body. " Venus said in an article attached to Vogue, "When I started wearing these fashion products, it was beyond the traditional boundaries of tennis, and that feeling was a bit scary. Even now, every time I take off my warm-up coat, the audience will always make noise because of the skin or pattern I show, which is always a very difficult moment for me. "
Before the Open, tennis was considered as an elite sport. However, the Williams sisters, who were born in poverty, broke the gap between the rich and the poor by climbing to the top of the world and winning Grand Slam trophies. Today, Dawei has her own fashion brand "EleVen", which is named after the street where she lived in Compton when she was a child, and the price of "EleVen" is not higher than $65,438 +09.98, which is acceptable to ordinary people. This year, the retail price of the "V-Court" sports shoes designed by David in the US Open is only $65,438 +04.98. Anyone who likes tennis or Venus can afford the products designed by Venus.
"My design is definitely at the forefront of fashion. On the court, they reflect my style: I am engaged in a very elegant and classical sport, which can be reflected in my clothes. " David said that he agreed to cooperate with American casual wear brand Steve &; Barry co-launched her personal brand in June of 5438+0 1 year, because she wanted to turn her trained design sketches into objects. "This is everything I have learned. This is my understanding of style, color and history. It can make your body feel good because the seams are in the right position. My inspiration can come from everything. The more I do in the design process, the more ideas will flash through my mind. "
In this essay, David summed up her attitude towards fashion, which also applies to her tennis match: everything is about creativity and adventurous spirit. "No matter whether I am on the list of best dressed or worst dressed, as long as it is my creation, it proves that I have taken a small step and seized an opportunity. At least I know I did something unusual. "

In fact, Serena won the first Grand Slam trophy in her career when she was less than 18 years old. With rich competition experience and perfect technical level, Serena has tasted four Grand Slam trophies. From the French Open in 2002 to the Australian Open in 2003, Serena successfully completed the "Serena Grand Slam", and the women's tennis world gradually transitioned from the "Hingis era" to the "Webster's sister era", more accurately, from the era of technology dominance to the era of power.
Although Serena is praised by Navratilova as a female player with superhuman potential, she is by no means the kind of person who can completely immerse herself in tennis. Spending talent, Serena naturally "paraded the streets" in various social occasions on the grounds of knee injury and lingered. Serena seems to be very satisfied with this "enterprising" life. She once said, "It's good to sleep until noon every day and do nothing after getting up."
Perhaps it is unbearable to see her old rival Hingis make a successful comeback. Maybe she was forced by the public advice of her tennis predecessors, or she really missed standing on the center court and enjoying the prestige of thousands of people. Serena finally decided to return.
Although the knee injury has not healed, Serena chose a small incident as the first battle of her comeback in August 2006; After four months of hibernation, I finally made my debut in Melbourne in 2007, wearing a bright green shirt. The phrase "I am eager to return to the game, I love tennis" touched countless fans and made people look forward to it.
No one expected that she could win the Australian Open championship with a world ranking of 8 1, and even less did she expect that she would beat Sharapova, the world's number one, with a near-perfect "black storm" in the final. Serena defeated Haining after losing 0-6 in the first set in the final of Miami Tour. Serena has won two singles titles this season, with an impressive record of 35 wins and 9 losses. At the end of the year, her world ranking has risen to the fifth place, and she successfully got the ticket to the WTA year-end finals.
Although Haining was blocked from the semi-finals in the next three Grand Slams of the Australian Open, it may be precisely because of her successive losses to Haining this year and her dissatisfaction with the women's tennis world that she once ruled, and now she has changed her dynasty and is under the aura of this Belgian. Serena once again burned her fighting spirit. At the press conference before the Kremlin Cup, she said, "I'm ready to return to the world's number one throne, and I'm full of motivation now …", just like Serena, a fighter who is full of confidence at that moment and always "speaks wildly". It is precisely because of her willful attitude on and off the court that more fans love her.
But never underestimate her strength and never scoff at what she says, because she may give fans a huge surprise at any time. As Serena herself said, maybe fashion is just a hobby, and she is not satisfied with the number of eight Grand Slams.
