Serena walked on court with that signature strut—head held high, skirt flouncing like it had choreography. It was pleated, playful, and just short enough to spark discussion from the BBC to barbershops. By the time the umpire said, “Time,” half the stadium had forgotten who she was playing.
The skirt had bounce. It had swing. It made even a simple practice swing look like a music video. And when Serena hit a serve at 120 mph with that skirt twirling like a Beyoncé wind machine had been hired courtside? Electrifying.
Forget challenges—her opponent was mentally replaying the entrance. One fan joked, “That skirt’s got more personality than my ex.”
