At least one key sponsor for Serena Williams has expressed support for the tennis legend after officials of the French Open banned a black, skintight bodysuit that she wore during that tournament in late May.
In a tweet, Nike Inc. NKE, -0.55% offered this message to the winner of 23 grand slam tennis titles (three French Open championships), the most of any player in tennis’s Open era: “You can take the superhero of her costume, but you can never take away her superpowers #justdoit”
