\n\tSerena Williams<\/a> marked her return to The Championships, Wimbledon<\/a> tennis Grand Slam on Tuesday in London wearing a coordinated Nike<\/a> tennis kit.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe venerated athlete and 23-time Grand Slam champion <\/a>wore a tennis skirt and sleeveless cropped top with a matching long-sleeve warm-up jacket. The white fabric of the coordinated Nike<\/a> look featured a small cutout motif throughout.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe small cutouts created an illusion polka dot effect. Despite Wimbledon<\/a>\u2018s strict on-court tennis whites dress code, bits of color featured throughout the ensemble, including the Nike logo and at the waistline of the cropped top and tennis skirt.<\/p>\n

\n\tWilliams added wrist bands and wore a white headband to boot. She also wore white Nike tennis shoes to complete her on-court ensemble. The athlete accessorized her on-court tennis kit with earrings and a necklace.<\/p>\n

\n\tMuch like her sister Venus Williams<\/a>, Serena\u2019s on-court style has long been a highlight of her decades-long tennis career. One of the athlete\u2019s last appearances at Wimbledon<\/a>, which came in 2021, saw the athlete in another Nike kit with a regal bent. Williams wore a high-low skirt with a train that trailed the athlete onto center court. The last time Williams competed at The Championships, Wimbledon came in 2022.<\/p>\n

\n\tWilliams is among the players whose on-court fashion statements at the 2026 edition of Wimbledon have been a highlight. Naomi Osaka, who competed and won her first-round match on Monday, wore a custom on-court look designed by Tokyo-based couturier Hana Yagi overtop her Nike tennis kit.<\/p>\n

Italy\u2019s Jannik Sinner and Poland\u2019s Iga \u015awi\u0105tek compete to defend the men\u2019s and women\u2019s singles titles.
