But just when you thought she has sealed the deal, she decided to celebrate her US open championship in a beautiful African print shift dress with a fabulous headwrap Haitian style. The beautiful champion took to twitter and posted the images with the caption “You Already Know I Had To Bring Out The Headwrap For This One”.
