The 7-time Grand Slam champion also revealed that she wasn’t a huge fan of sunscreen. She felt that she is ‘invincible’ and does not require any protection from the sun rays.

What if I’ve been wasting all this time?’ She added.
“As an African-American, I felt like Oh, I have built-in sunscreen. I don’t need sunscreen. I’m invincible. But that’s not the truth. I’m happy I got wise, but I just wish I would’ve done it sooner,” she concluded.
