Serena Williams, who has been in the headlines following the release of her biopic King Richard, has often lent her voice to various television shows.

The Grand Slam queen sent fans into a frenzy when she appeared in a commercial for Direct TV. In the commercial, Williams is seen as Wonder Woman, the DC comic superheroine.

The commercial recreates a scene from Wonder Woman 1984 in which Diana Prince (Wonder Woman) saves a young girl in a shopping mall. The ad begins with a couple switching channels between watching Williams play a match and the Wonder Woman movie.

The two were then shown merging on screen, with Williams appearing as Wonder Woman. The Direct TV ad also features American tennis legend John McEnroe.

McEnroe, who won seven Grand Slam singles titles in his career, sported an animated look after his whites got stained with ketchup in a melee at the mall.

Serena Williams has been out of action since sustaining a leg injury during her first-round match at Wimbledon last year but the 40-year-old hasn't hinted at retirement just yet.

Williams, who has won 23 Grand Slam singles titles, has time and again stated that she wishes to play on to equal Margaret Court's record of 24 Grand Slam crowns, although she did stress that she's not obsessed with achieving the feat.

Williams last won a Grand Slam title in 2017 when she defeated sister Venus in straight sets in Melbourne. She has reached four Slam finals since, but has fallen at the final hurdle on each occasion.

The tennis superstar withdrew from the Australian Open earlier this year but has been in the public eye promoting her biopic King Richard extensively with sister Venus Williams and father Richard Williams.
