Champion Of US Open Serena Williams might be a winner on the court... but loses style points in unforgiving green dress at GMA

She was crowned US Open champion on Sunday but Serena Williams' fashion choices aren't always a winner. 
The 31-year-old tennis player arrived at the TV studios for an appearance on Good Morning America in New York on Monday in an unforgiving green minidress which did little to flatter her figure.
 
While the colour matched her brown hair perfectly, Serena's dress bunched unflatteringly and it looked slightly too small in the chest area.

However, her make-up and hair were flawless and the purple heels she added provided a nice contrast to her green dress.

 

A simple gold necklace and a white watch completed her look. 
Serena is unlikely to care about fashion criticism, considering she has just won  her fifth US Open title 14 years after picking up her first.

However, she admitted she almost lost the game to world number two Victoria Azarenka because she found it difficult to contain her nerves.  
Speaking to Robin Roberts on Good Morning America, she said: 'I felt so good, I wasn't really feeling tired or anything. I was just saying to myself, "Serena you can do this".'
'I was so happy because I had so many opportunities to win it before but I may have gotten a little nervous. That's the worst thing that can happen as an athlete, to lose a match when you have such a massive lead and I was so happy to pull through because I had a massive lead and I lost it.

'Honestly, I thought I just had to calm down. I told myself to just stay relaxed.'
The world number one has also been romantically linked with her French coach Patrick Mouratoglou and following her latest win, spoke about the importance of having love in her life. 
'Love? I think it's important to have it in your life, I guess. I'm not an expert on that subject, she told reporters the day after her victory.
'Everyone says you get one. Some people say you get two. I'm definitely in love with tennis right now.'
