We all know how excellent tennis champ Serena Williams‘ skills are on the court, but you may be surprised to know that she brings just as impressive moves to the dance floor.
The newly engaged athlete is the ambassador of the Australian intimates brand Berlei, and she just put the label’s new sports bra through the ultimate stress test — showing its crazy level of support while moving to Billy Idol’s “Dancing With Myself.”
Williams has been an ambassador for several years (and a fan for over 10!) and her latest campaign with the company was one of her most fun yet. She posted a new video on Instagram writing in the caption that sometimes she just needs to loosen up in life.
“Sometimes we are all so serious and we forget to have fun — and I know that’s me a lot of the time, but it’s so important to have passions in your life that are just for you,” she writes. “I’m so disciplined every day with my training, but when I dance it’s about letting myself go.”
Meanwhile, Serena, the most successful female player at the Australian Open, has been handed a tough start in Melbourne this year.
The American will start out against Belinda Bencic.
Bencic downed Williams the last time they faced off in 2015 and has only slipped outside the top 15 in the rankings — the Swiss currently sits 48th — due to an array of injuries. Just this week, she was forced to retire in a match at the Sydney International because of a cracked toenail.
Likewise for the men’s most successful player at the Australian Open, Novak Djokovic. Djokovic will play Fernando Verdasco — who let slip five match points against the Serb in the Doha semifinals last week.
