Zendaya captivates us once again with her marvelous outfits, this time not only looking spectacularly sensual but also paying tribute to two of the most important and iconic tennis players of recent years, we’re talking about Serena Williams and Venus Williams.
Many of us remember Serena Williams from that famous clip that went viral some time ago where a tennis industry figure, Raymond Moore, a former South African tennis player, mentioned that women tennis players should kneel every night and thank God for the existence of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal because according to the ex-player, those men are the ones who have truly carried the sport.
Not satisfied with his misogynistic remarks, Moore added that if he had to do it over again, he would want to be part of the WTA to hang onto the coattails of men since, according to him, female tennis players make no decisions and are just lucky. Of course, Serena Williams didn’t stay silent in the face of such an offense, and although Moore later apologized for his controversial words, the damage was already done, Serena responded that those words not only offend female athletes but all women who have ever pursued their dreams. So far, it’s very clear that Serena Williams is an icon not only in sports but also an icon of women’s empowerment.
On the other hand, we have Venus Williams, who is indeed Serena’s sister but also an American professional tennis player who has won seven Grand Slam titles and 49 individual WTA tournaments. And what better than a fantastic woman like Zendaya to pay homage to two other sensational women, of course, it all goes hand in hand with the premiere of her new movie, “Challengers,” a romantic sports dramedy directed by Luca Guadagnino and written by Justin Kuritzkes.
Zendaya Pays Tribute to Serena and Venus Williams
Zendaya has kept tennis and movie fans super attentive to her red carpet looks because not only did she show off some heels with a tennis ball, but now she pays tribute to two of the best tennis players of the last decade.
Zendaya’s recent impactful look is a photograph where the actress is sitting on a couch wearing a very wide black and white skirt, but the important thing here is her hair because she’s sporting white braids very similar to the ones Serena and Venus wore in the 90s.
Furthermore, in the caption of the photo, Zendaya makes it very clear that she is paying homage to these great athletes as she mentions them and thanks them for all they have done.
Zendaya’s New Movie
“Challengers,” Zendaya‘s new movie, follows the story of a Grand Slam tennis champion who signs up to compete in a Challenger event against the ex-lover of his coach. “Challengers” is scheduled to be released in the United States on April 26, 2024. So far, everything indicates that it’s going to be a completely sensual movie, and Zendaya herself has said that it’s not just sensual because of the sex scenes per se but that the sport itself is sensual.
