Serena Williams Banned From Wearing Catsuit At French Open

Serena Williams will be banned from wearing her black catsuit at the French Open in the future, with the tournament set to introduce a stricter dress code. The 23-time Grand Slam champion said the outfit made her feel like a "superhero" at Roland Garros this year.

She claimed it helped her cope with the issue of blood clots, which she said almost cost her her life giving birth.

"It will no longer be accepted," French Tennis Federation president Bernard Giudicelli told Tennis magazine.

"I believe we have sometimes gone too far. You have to respect the game and the place."

Giudicelli did not reveal the new rules but said they will not be as restrictive as at Wimbledon, where players must wear all-white outfits.

Williams, 36, made her return to Grand Slam tennis at the French Open in May following the birth of her daughter last September.
