A post shared by Serena Williams (@serenawilliams) on Nov 28, 2016 at 6:14pm PST
I’ve been missing Serena Williams. She pulled out of Indian Wells and the Miami Open because of a knee injury, and many are wondering if she’ll play at all during the clay-court season. Considering she made the final of the French Open last year, I would assume she’s going to try to make it again this year, but who knows? It feels like Serena plays fewer and fewer tournaments every year, possibly because A) she only really cares about Slams at this point and B) she has a full life outside of tennis. Speaking of that full life, Serena still isn’t talking much about her engagement to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. The vibe I got from Serena a few months ago was that she wasn’t really focused on planning a wedding and we should settle in for a long engagement. But then she Instagrammed this photo of a wedding gown this week:
Is she already shopping for a wedding gown? And is this the gown? Is the wedding happening sooner than anyone expected??? Just my opinion: Serena won’t marry Alexis before Wimbledon. Right? She’ll want to focus on Wimbledon. Fingers crossed. I also don’t think this dress is all that? I’ll be super-disappointed if Serena’s wedding gown is some frou-frou lace doily.
Meanwhile, the Romanian Fed Cup captain, Ilie Nastase, lodged a major slam against Serena last week and I’m sort of shocked by how little press there is around Nastase’s charge. Nastase said (in Romanian, in a press conference) that Serena “looks” like someone on steroids and that Americans get away with a lot of stuff because of the sponsors and advertising. Nastase literally provided no proof for this accusation beyond “look at her.”
