Serena Williams on Thursday unveiled her latest outfit and intentions to challenge for the Australian Open crown at next week's tennis grand slam.

Williams, who dominated women's tennis with five grand slams in 2002-03 including the 2003 Australian Open, said she was fighting fit after overcoming an abdominal strain and a knee problem which dropped her ranking to seven - her lowest since 1998.

Known for some outlandish tennis fashion statements including a black catsuit, her latest gear includes a dress that comes apart to reveal shorts and a tight-fitting tank top.

And the knee-high boots that first made an appearance at last year's US Open are back.

Only this time they have changed from black patent leather to lime green with mesh panels down the side.

The 23-year-old American said regaining the top spot in women's tennis was a goal for the year.
