Serena Williams cruised past Poland’s Magda Linette at Flushing Meadows on her return to the US Open after missing last year’s tournament while pregnant with her first child.
She secured victory in an outfit designed by one of the most in-demand names in fashion, Virgil Abloh.
The collaboration with Louis Vuitton menswear artistic director and frequent Kanye West collaborator Abloh is entitled “Queen” and was announced earlier this month ahead of the tournament.

The 6-4, 6-0 win was her 90th at the US Open, a tournament she has won six times but not since 2014.
“With Serena, we have one of our generation’s most powerful, inspiring athletes as the muse,” said Abloh in a press release.
