Game. Set. Match. The tennis star is now a fully-fledged supermodel. After smashing the US Open last month, the talented sportswoman has joined the high-end fashion brand as an ambassador for Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri's womenswear collections, skincare and make-up ranges.

Speaking to British Vogue magazine, she said: "Maria Grazia's work empowers women to feel confident in the iconic Dior cut, which I feel is very unique.

"The sincerity of her approach and the way she turns shows into collective and meaningful events unquestionably influenced me in my choice."

The tennis pro has already signed up as the face of Tiffany & Co.

She said on her epic appearance at the Met Gala wearing a Dior gown: "It felt heavenly! Being able to wear a dress like that made with all the magic in the Dior ateliers was a totally unique experience.

"The detailed embroidery was exceptional and I was so honoured to attend my first movie premiere in it.”

She shared her news on social media recently: "Very excited to join this iconic house, thank you @Dior".

Additionally: "Very excited to join the iconic @tiffanyandco family as a House Ambassador.

"Being able to wear these special jewellery pieces over the past few weeks has been an honour!"

If only we'd tried harder with a raquet.
