Williams wore a catsuit since she wanted to keep blood circulation going in her legs to prevent the risk of blood clots, a problem she was at risk of due to complications during her first pregnancy.

"I've had a lot of problems with my blood clots, God I don't know how many I've had in the past 12 months," Williams said at a press conference.
"I've been wearing pants in general a lot when I play so I can keep the blood circulation going," she added.

However, the French Tennis Federation didn't take kindly to this as Bernard Giudicelli stated that the outfit disrespected the game and the tournament.

"I think that sometimes we've gone too far," Giudicelli said, as reported by The Associated Press. "It will no longer be accepted. One must respect the game and the place."

Years later, Serena Williams recalled her catsuit saga and said that she couldn't believe that it was the people at the French Open who were mad at Williams' catsuit.

"This was really cool where I wore like this one body piece and people were mad about it. I couldn't believe it. They were like 'you shouldn't wear that,' well not people, the French Open was kind of upset about it, and I was like 'why not?" Serena Williams said.

Williams explained to them that she did it for her health and that she needed to wear it. The American then said that though they weren't happy, they understood her condition.

"I told them 'no, no, no, you don't understand. This is for my health I kind of need to wear that and they understood when I said that. They weren't very happy about it but they understood," she added.
