Serena Williams is doing something weird with her face. Many people on social media are now saying that the tennis star is officially “light skinned.”
A few weeks ago, fans were shocked when Serena posted a photo of her new “lighter” complexion during a trip to Paris with her husband Alexis Ohanian.
Although some Suggestions were made that Serena was bleaching her skin, others responded that it was probably just bad makeup, or a camera flash that lightened her face.
But yesterday Serena posted a video, showing the same light brown skin. And more fans are wondering what I’m doing with that.
Williams won 14 major women’s doubles titles, all with her sister Venus, and the pair remained undefeated in major doubles finals (the best undefeated record in major finals in any discipline of the game). The sisters achieved one non-calendar year Grand Slam between the 2009 Wimbledon Championships and the 2010 French Open, which gave the sisters the world No. 1 ranking in doubles. Williams won four Olympic gold medals, three in women’s doubles – an all-time joint record in tennis, which she shared with her sister. The pair are the only women in the Open era to win Olympic gold in both singles and doubles. Williams also won two major mixed doubles titles in 1998. She is the only singles player, male or female, to complete three career Golden Slams – one in women’s singles and two in women’s doubles.
The advancement of the Williams sisters has been credited with ushering in a new era of power and athleticism on the women’s professional tennis tour. Serena has a combined 39 major titles: 23 in singles, 14 in women’s doubles, and two in mixed doubles. He is joint third on the all-time list and second in total major titles in the Open era. She is the most recent woman to simultaneously win all four major singles titles (2002–2003 and 2014–2015) and to win a Surface Slam (major titles on hard, clay and grass courts in the same calendar year), which she accomplished . With Venus, she is also the most recent player to win all four major women’s doubles titles simultaneously (2009–2010).
Williams was the world’s highest-paid female athlete in 2016, earning approximately $29 million. She repeated this feat in 2017 when she was the only woman on Forbes’ list of the 100 highest-paid athletes with $27 million in prize money and endorsements.
