"This is when Nike was introduced. I think of all the outfits I wear and when they say, 'What is your favourite?' This one is always top three," Williams says, explaining that her transition from Puma to Nike involved adding more oomph to her wardrobe.

"When this outfit debuted, I was sealed as a fashion icon in tennis and since that day, everyone is always looking for, 'OK, what is Serena going to wear on the court?'" she said.
