Serena Williams returns to Wimbledon in Nike tennis kit

Serena Williams marked her return to tennis’ Grand Slam Wimbledon Championships on Tuesday in a coordinating Nike tennis kit in London.

The esteemed athlete and 23-time Grand Slam champion wore a tennis skirt and sleeveless crop top, along with a matching long-sleeve warm-up jacket. The coordinating Nike look featured small cutout motifs throughout the white fabric.

The small cutouts created an illusory polka dot effect. Despite the strict dress code for white tennis players on the courts at Wimbledon, color was featured throughout the ensemble, including the Nike logo and the waistline of the crop top and tennis skirt.

Williams added wristbands and also wore a white headband for good measure. She also completed her on-court ensemble with white Nike tennis shoes. The athlete wore earrings and a necklace with her tennis kit on court.

Like her sister Venus Williams, Serena’s on-court style has been the highlight of her decades-long tennis career. One of the athlete’s last appearances at Wimbledon in 2021 saw the athlete wearing another Nike uniform with a regal stance. Williams wore a high-low skirt and led players to center court like a train. Williams last competed in a championship at Wimbledon in 2022.

Williams is one of the players whose on-court fashion statements were a highlight at Wimbledon 2026. Naomi Osaka, who won her first round match on Monday, wore a custom on-court look designed by Tokyo-based couturier Hana Yagi over her Nike tennis kit.

Wimbledon 2026 opens on Monday and concludes on July 12th. Italy’s Jannik Sinner and Poland’s Iga Świętek will compete to defend their men’s and women’s singles titles. Tennis stars such as Osaka, Coco Gauff and Francis Tiafoe will also be participating.
