Serena Williams wore a tutu to the US Open following a catsuit ban from future french Opens. Williams wore the suit in order to get a full range of motion and play to her best ability. The tight catsuit also provided Williams with support to help prevent more blood cloths after she had a pulmonary embolism while giving birth just month ago.

French Open: The catsuit is inappropriate and does not meet our oppressive, paternalistic standards of femininity. @serenawilliams: Watch me dominate the court in a tutu. pic.twitter.com/yWaGtz7n5E
