Tennis superstar Serena Williams began her campaign for a 24th Grand Slam title by beating Tatjana Maria at the 2019 Australian Open, but it was her on-court outfit that again became all anyone wanted to talk about.
Williams’ 6-0, 6-2 win went mostly unnoticed by social media users, but her green skin-tight play-suit produced a lot of internet chatter.
Check out the outfit below:

Williams’ fashion choice garnered some mixed reactions on Twitter, with some comparing the player’s outfit to a “garbage bag.”

Is there nobody around with @serenawilliams who says Serena don't wear this? Serenity you can't wear this on a tennis court! @AustralianOpen please make some clothing rules some things are okay but this is a example of something you can't wear #AusOpen
