Wilson is celebrating Serena Williams' Open Era-record 23rd Grand Slam title with a golden racquet in her honor.

Wilson, the Williams sisters long-time racquet sponsor, announced today it has created an exclusive, limited-edition commemorative racquet to celebrate Williams regaining No. 1 and capturing her 23rd major title.

Watch: Serena Tops Venus, Wins Record 23rd Grand Slam Title

Wilson will sell only 23 of its 2017 Serena Williams Grand Slam Commemorative Edition Racquet; 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of the racquets will go to The Serena Williams Fund. 

“Wilson has supported me for many years as I’ve pursued my goals as a professional athlete, said Serena Williams. “This commemorative racquet is beautiful and represents me well, yet I am most appreciative of the work my Fund will be able to do as result of the Company’s support of my career.”

The 2017 Serena Williams 23 Grand Slam Commemorative Edition Racquet is a specially designed Blade 104 Serena Williams Autograph model (the Wilson racquet model Serena Williams plays with on Tour). The racquet carries forth the brand’s new design DNA for its performance racquets.



Featuring a stealth black frame with iridescent gold accents at the three and nine o’clock positions on the frame, the design uses gold to highlight the major trophies of Serena Williams’ Grand Slam victories, the number “23,” and her signature. In addition, the Wilson logo on the outside of the racket’s throat is made up of tiny number “23”s. The racquet also includes a real 24k karat gold trapdoor on the butt cap.

Each of the 23 exclusive racquets were autographed by Serena Williams immediately following her 23rd Grand Slam win in Melbourne. Every racquet is individually numbered and strung to the exact specifications Serena William’s uses on Tour. Each racquet will be packaged in a special commemorative box, along with a certificate of authenticity and tribute poster.



The racquet retails for $723.00, which symbolizes Serena William’s seven Australian Open Women’s Singles titles and 23rd Grand Slam. Wilson will donate 100 percent of every dollar from the sale of the rackets to the Serena Williams Fund. The racquet is now available for purchase on www.wilson.com/serena23.
