"That was never the objective... it's really about the illusion. Like you can wear lace, but what's the point of wearing lace when there's just black under. The illusion of just having bare skin is definitely for me a lot more beautiful.
"Lace has never been done before in tennis, and I've been wanting to do it for a long time."
Serena showed me a picture [taken] from behind. At this point it's like -- the dress is here, this is what I'm wearing. You know, thankfully, like I said, everything is all fit."

"It went a whole other level to the point where I was getting calls from my publicist in the middle of the night. I was like, well, the last time this happened there were rumors I was married."
