    Serena Williams and Venus Williams delighted tennis fans when they returned to the US Open on September 4, 2026 for a doubles match against Hao-Ching Chan and Maya Joint. For the special occasion, Serena donned an iconic Nike jacket, which paid tribute to her amazing success as a tennis icon.

    Serena's Nike jacket was emblazoned with her surname across the back in huge letters. But perhaps most notably, the sleeves of Serena's jacket listed the dates she won titles at the US Open throughout the years.

    Per Footwear News, Serena accessorized her eye-catching jacket with a pair of Nike Air Zoom Vapor X tennis shoes, along with a white Nike tennis dress. Her sister Venus opted for an outfit from Lacoste, which included a white tennis dress and a pair of white sneakers.
