7. READING THE CATSUIT: Serena Williams and the Production of Blackness at the 2002 U.S. Open.

Abstract

During the 2002 US. Open, Serena Williams received a great deal of attention for wearing an outfit described as "a body-clinging, faux leather, black cat-suit." It was not necessarily the catsuit itself that the popular media found especially controversial but rather the visibility of her physique the outfit provided. The ways in which Serena Williams, the outfit, and her body were discussed offers a particular site at which to interrogate the production of blackness in 21st-century, U.S. society. This article argues that the processes of differentiation the popular media used to characterize her are located within racialized discourse. By representing Williams through oppositional rhetorics, that is, setting her multiple identities in contradistinction to other women on the tour, accounts concerning her appearance in the catsuit reproduce the hegemonic racialized order in women's tennis.

Abstract

The article profiles tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams. Despite being together for the upcoming Wimbledon tournament, where play begins June 21, the two are spending less time on the court and more pursuing other careers--Venus, 24, is already a practicing interior designer, and Serena, 22, wants to be a movie star. Venus has been hobbled by foot injuries since last summer; Serena had surgery for a partially torn left knee tendon in August. Once the top two female players in the world, Venus and Serena are now ranked No. 8 and No. 10, respectively, following their early exits at the recent French Open. They have each won around $13 million in their careers; both also have endorsement deals--Serena with Nike, worth a reported $40 million, Venus for about the same amount with Reebok. Yet they swear tennis is still their top priority, and that they aren't worried about any rising young stars.

Abstract

When in Rome, Serena Williams did as a visitor would. When she wasn't on the court at last week's Italian Open, she played the role of turista. She carried a turquoise cellphone that doubledas a digital camera and clicked away paparazzi-style at every monument in her path. When the French Open kicks off in Paris next week, Williams will be the odds-on favorite to win her fifth straight Grand Slam tournament, further consolidating a dominance unseen in tennis since Steffi Graf ran roughshod over a vastly inferior women's field 15 years ago. What's more, unlike so many recent tennis champions who have shrunk from the spotlight (Graf, Pete Sampras, Lleyton Hewitt, even the latest incarnation of Andre Agassi), Williams is comfortable in her celebrity. When Lindsay Davenport recently rated Williams's serve as the best in the history of women's tennis, the remark stirred little debate. But the more she talks--about her disdain for losing, her appreciation for the charmed life she leads, her fondness for the perks of the job--the more convinced you are that the Serena Showwill play on for a good long while. Relinquish her spot in tennis's aerie? That would mean thatsomeone else would get to have all the fun.
