American tennis champion Venus Williams, 43, is turning heads in a white crop top and floral tennis skirt on the legendary tennis courts of Wimbledon.
With the photo below, Williams writes: “The love affair continues” and reminds fans that Wimbledon starts tomorrow, Monday, July 3. This is her 24th appearance on the famous grass courts.
The fashion-forward tennis ensemble is from Williams’ fashion line, Eleven by Venus. That bright and white long sleeve crop top is said to “bring ballerina vibes to the court” and her “Uplift” tennis skirt is designed with a “higher rise waist band for a flattering fit” and a “functional split for freedom of movement.”

According to Eleven by Venus, Williams will wear her own Wimbledon inspired collection, Winning Whites, at the tournament.
A note about the significance of the number 11: Williams has won five Grand Slam singles titles at Wimbledon (2000, 2001, 2005, 2007, 2008) and six doubles titles at Wimbledon (2000, 2002, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2016). 5 + 6 = 11.
Prior to Wimbledon, Williams competed in the 2023 Birmingham Classic (for the first time) and defeated Camilla Giorgi in over three hours in what WTA Tennis described as “an epic three-set thriller.”
As seen above, at Wimbledon, Williams first faces Elina Svitolina, the 28-year-old Ukrainian who had a baby in October and is married to fellow tennis pro, Gaël Monfils.
