The 36-year-old tennis star competed in a tutu for the second time as a response to the French Open’s ban on her catsuit as well as for her first game.
Serena defeated Carina Witthoeft of Germany, 6-2, 6-2, to snatch her ticket to the third round – the 18th time she’s made it to that stage.
Serena‘s third match will see her face off against her older sister, Venus, who defeated Camila Giorgi in straight sets. It will be the first time the sisters face off in a Grand Slam since the 2017 Australian Open final.
