As Serena Williams won the tournament opener at the Australian Open, she had fans rooting for her. However, it was William’s freshly manicured nails that caught their attention as well. In a heart-warming gesture, the former world number 1 was seen flaunting a koala-themed nail art as she played on the court against Anastasia Potapova, her Russian opponent in Melbourne Park.
The koala theme is a nod to the bush fires that flared up in Australia, wiping out at least a billion animals.
