The dress had words like “mother,” “queen,” and “goddess” written on it, to keep her motivated after facing criticism for her catsuit at the French Open prior to that year. It had a crop top, tennis skirt and a printed cape jacket.

He tweeted a picture of the American player in the outfit and wrote, “OK, someone’s got to say it: I love @serenawilliams, but her new playing outfit looks absolutely diabolical. Sorry.”
