Serena Jameka Williams is known today as the strongest tennis player in history. The 35-year-old Compton, nicknamed
"The Queen", as a true queen, has obstructed many obstacles in and out of the field.
Of a champion of such proportions we know the main characteristics: willpower, desire to emerge at any cost, pure determination. But the smallest of the
Williams possesses another strong point: the character.
Serena always says what she thinks, no filters. For you there are no taboo topics: from the disparity in salaries between men and women to racism, the injustice to the American champion has no place to stay. The fact that happened to the final of the
US Open feminine speaks clear: Serena after receiving technical-tactical advice from his trainer, is resumed and labelled as a cheat.
Williams accuses the referee of being a thief, undergoing a third warning and a game of penalties, thus losing any chance of victory.
The incident becomes a case of gender equality: «in my career I have seen men players say everything to the judges without anything happening-he repeated Serena in conference at the end of the match-I will continue to fight for women's rights and for equality. I yelled at him thief and he took away a game: it seemed like a sexist decision to me. He would never have done it to a man ».
The case has aroused countless chain reactions,
Billie Jean King, former tennis player, commented on
Twitter: When a woman lets go to emotions, becomes "hysterical" and is penalized. When a man does the same thing, he is "blunt " and there are no repercussions. Thank you
Serena Williams for highlighting this double standard, many other items must do the same».
The
Williams, even off the field, has faced very difficult moments. Having become a mom for just over a year, after several health complications, Serena spoke openly to
Vogue America's post-partum problems. He faced sadness and depression, negative thoughts and bad days. But the communication for you was the key. Speaking with mom and sisters she understood that not every day can be positive, but this does not make her a bad mother.
If possible more determined than before, Serena is back in the field, and on the catwalks. On August 13, a collaboration was unveiled between tennis player and
Off-White designer Virgil Abloh. A capsule collection totally inspired by the style of the champion in collaboration with
Nike. The heads of the collection were made of super-innovative materials and the design, now unmistakable, was fully Off-White. On the garments were written quotes
"QUEEN " and
"SERENA ". The highlight of the collection was the
mini dress for tennis player in Lycra and mesh with a single-shoulder body and a flounces skirt, worn in the field by the champion.ù
Still in the field, at
Roland Garros, Serena wore a
Black Panther style suit, moving various controversies. The adherent black onesie has divided the world while the French
Federtennis has promptly rejected the look. On the social burst a real uproar, so that the hashtag
#BoycottFrenchOpen exploded. In fact, Serena quickly explained that the suit was designed specifically to avoid health problems, decreasing the risk of embolies and encouraging circulation.
But
Nike, manufacturer of the suit, immediately took the defenses of his testimonial, publishing a post in black and white in which appears serene with the suit indicted, accompanied by the inscription:
"You can take the superhero out of her costume, but you can never take Away her superpowers
