Serena Williams coasted to a straight sets win over Germany’s Carina Witthoeft on Wednesday to set up a 3rd round rematch with her sister Venus Williams at the 2018 U.S. Open in the Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing Meadows, NY on Friday, Aug. 31.
Also on Wednesday, 16th ranked Venus Williams defeated Italy’s Camila Giorgi in straight sets, 6-4, 7-5, to advance to the third round where she will likely have a rough time against her determined sister, Serena.
17th ranked Serena wore a lavender Tutu designed by Virgil Abloh for his Off-White label in collaboration with Nike.
Meanwhile, 3rd ranked defending women’s singles champion Sloane Stephens (pictured) dropped the first set against Ukrainian qualifier Anhelina Kalinina before coasting to a 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 win to reach the third round on Friday against two-time Grand Slam champion Victoria Azarenka, who won’t go down without a fight.

The shade in the leading pics you post. LOL SMH
Yaaas Serena, show ’em how it’s DONE!!! I’ll just ignore the less than flattering first picture, gwaan good gal!!
I didn’t know there was another black tennis star.
Also, I saw a clip of Serena twirling around in her tutu on the news. Lol
OK!!!!! It aint right!! The girl is strong. I wouldn’t want to be that racket…. or the ball. Her serve is so hard.
The muscles in her arms though…
Imagine her punching you in the face.
You were in my head because I was just about to say I would NOT wanna get hit by her. That’s a straight ONE piece and I’d be laid out on the floor.
I’ve always said that Serena looks like she would MOP the floor with a chick….
When she retires from tennis, she could always become a body builder. She’s already got the muscles and her workout ethic is probably off the charts.
*Clappin* for Serena and Sloane..ratha Serena wears a catsuit or 2,2,she is da shidt. I remember years back when Sloane was at the bottom of her tennis game,homegirl creeped her way up,and now she’s at the top of her game !Congrats Ladees!
How is it shade to post a pic of Serena returning a serve?

Black Girl Magic! I LOVE HER.
What’s wrong with the 1st picture? Does it bother you to see a picture of a strong Black woman?
Literally!! ??
and ironically she says she never lifts weights she only throws balls and swings her racket.
If you focus on your you will see a change quickly. I work on my arms every other day. I starting feel myself.
I love all 3 of them!
Venus was not here for questions about her sis!
Now you and I and everybody on this blog knows, that is a very unflattering facial pic. Kinda like those pics you posted of Bey during that Superbowl halftime show and they in turn scrubbed them from the internet. I’ve been rocking with you long enough to know how you rock. LOL
Sloane and her coach opened up a beautiful tennis recreational center for kids by my house here in Chicago. I love that they ave back to the community in a special way.
Serena can do no wrong.
Boom bish went down!!!!!
Yea Sloane been around for some time now.
All I said was it was less than flattering. No ma’am it does not bother me to see a strong Black woman, I see one in the mirror ever day and surround myself with them.
Hello!!!! #truth
Serena is her daddy’s twin. Just saw a video of him going off on a reporter when he was questioning his daughter lol that dude was not playing back in the day
Yep. Had that white man shook lmao
Serena is the shit…period point blank…..yall can say what yall want about her looks, outfits or whatever…but yall cannot deny her skill, passion for the sport and dedication and determination to succeed!!!! # Go Serena!!!!
We been here practically off and on since da start.
Sandra be tryna be all like what did I say? Did I do that?
I’m sorry but you are wrong. I didn’t even look at Serena’s face when I posted this pic.
Yes, I did that in the past. But I’ve changed.

Ba wa wa wa!!!
Classic!
?, are they changing ms aretha franklin clothes everyday. Serious question
Yes love this sister…. I hate the way some brothers, and sisters dog her out for the aforementioned reasons you’ve stated. I feel we are more critical of each other, than other races are sometimes.
lol
Those tutus are cute. They’re far better than that raunchy catsuit.
Right…we need updated pics
Amazing how she just morphed into muscle man body. She must have a gorilla gym game. Reminds me if FloJo. All the complications from an undeteced source in her blood vessels. Just saying. Aint nobody stupid. It happens. FloJo ran too fast died too soon. Is it really worth it?
I just cant with these images of her looking like the hulk in a skirt.
Congrats. I guess?????

Lol
Yes. Red, powder blue, and today the Queen has on gold. And a new one tomorrow for her final swan song.The latest pics havent been shown since Monday. I guess they saw how her shoes got made into numerous memes and decline to show them.

They not showing them. Bc someone(s) decided to cut the damn fool on Monday and memed a Queen as she lay resting.
Im trying to process this information about this change.
Sorry, the tutus are whack – they don’t look right on her. Go get my damn catsuit
Yes, that is exactly what I said when I saw the picture, tutu’s are a no for us big bottom girls!
Aww shame the internet!! They ain’t right ?
Lordt
I said Monday I meant Tuesday. But still.
Go Serena! Loving her tenacity!
Just saw this article, thanks
i’m loving it! it was a surprise but please don’t try this at home, folks.
i’m pissed!!!
serena looking like a monster in the face and SR is trying to be kute.
She’s too strong for tutus. Too muscular. Too built.
I would stay limped. She is too manish built…
Great tennis player. The tutus are not for your body type. She looks like hulk in it. Maybe the shorts like your sister. Serena you look a mess, please look in the mirror at yourself with a tutu on
BOOM! Boom goes the dynamite!
Yup. I feel they should of had 1 viewing prior to the homegoing. Someone took a pic of her in the museum posted it on youtube. She looked like she had been sick of course. Her being 2 weeks out since her passing was a bit much but her family wanted her fans and city to pay last respects. Releasing the pic was very gracious of them.
She was the peoples Queen of Soul. God rest her soul.
They doing way too much but I bet Aretha planned it all. Lol
The ignorance of people like you is actually amusing. Because it has been in the headlines quite a few times this year that Serena has already had 7 random drug test this year and the year isn’t over. She complained because everyone else gets 1 or 2 a year and she has already had 7. They just show up to the house to make sure she’s not on any performance enhancers so that’s not “juice” or “flow jo”. And for it to be undetected is crazy because they would love to see her fail. You’re just a HATER. Flat out
Nawl I wouldn’t dare try to fight her. Shiddd I like my teeth all 8 of em lmfaoo
Why I gotta be ignorant to have an opinion? Its ignorant mfs like you that hate to have a conversation and that is what this blog is for.
Do you think everybody’s gone just ignore the oblivious?
That woman on steroids. Damn near died giving birth due to blood clots? How often that happens during child birth?
What other female tennis champ look like that.?
Its my opinion and i domt care if you don’t like it.
Superhero Serena. Lol. Some folk believe anything.
All 8 of them though????
I just died a thousands deaths ?
Go you strong, beautiful, Black woman!
LMAO
LUV YOU GIR;, but stick with the full body CAT SUITS!
beautiful color on her
you say damn all that ass if her shoulders are broader than yours?!?! I’m weak
If I had a Daddy like Richard, I’d be POTUS, SCOTUS, and FLOTUS!
LMBO!
I can’t!!!! LOL!

Don’t get it confused Sandra still side with racist
When FloJo die??? I must be getting altimers (Alzheimer’s) already. Let me run to google.
GOAT. Period. Much respect to Mr. Williams for raising that! Black excellence tends to start with a Black father in the home raising his kids.
Did you see her body?! Wow! She is on a mission! So proud of her and Venus.
Steve has a new look. Have you seen it?
Yeh they look like somebody made her wear ’em lol
Sloane is a beautiful woman.
That salt and pepper look reminds me of Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince.
Yuck Serena!
Black girls rock ??
Lol if you all say so… she is a great tennis but her fashion uhmmm ok ??
Love Serena, but that is a horrible pic. #thatsalligot
Greatest Of All Time!
???
Ole gurl look just just like her daddy….. ?
For real LOL- not the most flattering
Serena You can’t live your life for other people. You’ve got to do what’s right for you, even if it hurt PEOPLE who think that if you are black You had Better get Back.
Serena GOAT….
I believe you. LOL xoxo
Type sh!t. LOL
Good lordt…..look at her arms!
People freak out about Serena’s musculature but forget how buff Sloane’s delts and traps used to be.
Team Williams
So does Venus.
I’m sorry but I’m just not feeling these tutu’s with the fishnet stockings…. I just can not!
Best tennis player of all time!
About 1998
Serena looks exactly like her father.
That was my first thought an posted comment too.
SHE HULK mad..very mad!
with the manly muscles to add, not cute
