Former WTA number one Serena Williams’ name is synonymous with commitment and discipline. This Olympic gold-medalist legend has demonstrated remarkable dedication to her dreams throughout her professional tours, and that determination hasn’t faded a bit post-retirement. Intrigued to know why it matters now too? Well, Williams has now showcased her hard-working mentality yet again through an incredible transformation journey. As she surprised her followers with her latest milestone, they were reminded why Serena Williams remains an inspiration, even years after bidding tennis adieu.
Williams deserves applause for her unwavering dedication. At the start of 2024, the 23-time Grand Slam winner humorously shared a reel on her IG platform about her struggles to fit into a beloved Valentino denim skirt. “This cool Valentino skirt I wore while pregnant,” she joked, “I thought, once the belly was gone, I’d fit into it—but nope. This is my goal. I should be there by now, but I got distracted… Houston, we have a problem!” Despite multiple attempts, the skirt only made it up to her thighs.
Fast forward, this WTA legend recently posted a triumphant social media update. In a new IG reel, she stood before her girl gang, surprising them with her incredible weight loss transformation. Sporting a sleek black bodysuit that accentuated her curves, Williams presented the same Valentino skirt with a playful tease: “I have an audience today for the big moment of maybe will it or will it not,” After acknowledging the skirt’s “zero stretch,” she slipped into it effortlessly, exclaiming, “I did it!” She even sat on the floor to prove its perfect fit. The video, captioned “The ‘Jean Skirt’ finale ✨,” became a testament to Williams’ zeal and determination to a truly inspirational weight-loss journey.

After surgery, she experienced weight gain and faced criticism on social media. However, with hard work and motivation, Williams consistently returned to peak form. Even in retirement, this legendary athlete remains dedicated to her commitment to fitness, proving that her drive to stay in shape is as enduring as her legacy on the court. Even Boris Becker complimented her ability to stay in great shape even after having two babies.

In last July, this Grand Slam winner legend shared a reel on her IG platform trying to fit into the same old Valentino skirt. “Ok everyone the jean skirt is baaaaaaackkkkkk. Paris was fun, but I gotta see if I can fit in this skirt yet — saying a little prayer…lol,” she said in the process of wearing the skirt over her pink athletic romper. Williams exclaimed, “I haven’t tried it on since last time. So, let’s see what happens here. Let’s say our prayers. Don’t get negative if it doesn’t work out.” Although the skirt didn’t fit well, it still turned out a positive moment for the WTA legend as she said, “We don’t have that big of a problem anymore, but we still got a little bit of a problem.” She could button up her skirt but the zipper was still a hard deal. However, Williams was happy and accepted that she had “made a lot of progress.” Seeing Williams’ struggle, Boris Becker commented on her reel.
