Serena Williams: French Open bans 'hero' catsuit from one year from now

Serena Williams: French Open bans 'hero' catsuit from one year from now

Serena Williams will be restricted from wearing her dark catsuit at the French Open later on, with the competition set to present a stricter clothing standard. 

The 23-time Grand Slam champion said the outfit made her vibe like a "superhuman" at Roland Garros this year. She guaranteed it helped her adapt to the issue of blood clusters, which she said nearly cost her nurturing birth. 

"It will never again be acknowledged," French Tennis Federation president Bernard Giudicelli disclosed to Tennis magazine. "I trust we have now and then gone too far. You need to regard the diversion and the place." 

Giudicelli did not uncover the new guidelines but rather said they won't be as prohibitive as at Wimbledon, where players must wear every white outfit. He included that albeit most player garbs for 2019 have just been arranged, the FFT is requesting that makers share the plans. Williams, 36, made her arrival to Grand Slam tennis at the French Open in May following the introduction of her little girl last September. 

The three-time champ wore the catsuit in every one of the initial three adjusts however needed to haul out of her fourth-round tie against Maria Sharapova due to damage. She committed the outfit to new moms and said it made her vibe like a "ruler from Wakanda" in reference to the Black Panther motion picture. 

Williams is offering for a seventh US Open title when the competition begins on Monday and the seventeenth seed faces Poland's reality number 60 Magda Linette in the first round.
