Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian says women and fashion vibe better than male athletes

Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian has lauded women athletes for bringing in more brands to sports after he opined that women just "vibe" with fashion more than male athletes.

Alexis Ohanian is married to American tennis legend Serena Williams, who is not only famous for being a 23-time Grand Slam champion but also for her on and off-court fashion choices.

Ohanian appreciated Zia Cooke's outfit, a black and silver cut-out dress she wore at the WNBA Draft picks where she was selected to play for the Los Angeles Sparks' at No.10 in the WNBA. Cooke was selected in the first round of the draft. She was a point guard at the University of South Carolina.

Ohanian took to Twitter and opined that women vibe with fashion better than male athletes and that the rise of women's sports is attracting more and more brands to sports that would not have generally entered the sporting arena.

"I know this is gonna sound crazy, but maybe, just maybe, women & fashion Vibe in a way that just doesn't happen with the male athletes. Lots of brands will come into sports that never have before because of the rise of the women's game," Ohanian tweeted.

Ohanian's tweet was appreciated by fans who supported his opinion, stating that brands will have to design outfits to fit the bodies of women athletes.

"This is a great point, and it’ll also force brands beyond athleticwear to think about actually fitting athletic bodies," a fan tweeted.

"Beautifully said," another fan tweeted.
