What’s more, the shoes are also embossed with the name of her three-year-old daughter Alexis Olympia.
The motivational messages on her footwear remind her to put in her absolute best every time she steps on court.
And, fight is precisely what the 39-year-old champion has on her mind as she arrives at the French capital.
She has been struggling to rid herself of the bogey of reaching her 24th career Grand Slam title for the last three years and would love to end her wait at Roland-Garros.
Serena has a tough road to glory at French Open
Serena came into the Australian Open this year, hoping to put an end to her title drought and go level with the legendary Margaret Court’s career haul of Grand Slam trophies in her homeland.
She seemed to be racing towards her goal, felling opponents with typically effortless wins aided by her brutal power game, till she ran into her nemesis, Naomi Osaka, in the semifinals.
The American couldn’t bring her best game to the park on the day it mattered the most, going down in straight sets to the Japanese star, who eventually went on to lift the title.
She didn’t play any events post the Melbourne Park heartbreak before returning to competitive action in Rome.
However, her first event on clay this year ended in disappointment as well, as she went down in the tournament opener to unheralded Argentine Nadia Podoroska.
