The correct answer is the following.
<em>The connection that the author draws of criticism of Serena Williams’ tennis outfit and past scrutiny of women’s Athletic clothing is the following.
</em>
We are referring to the article written by Deirdre Clemente for “The Conversation” on September 5, 2018. “The Conversation” belongs to the University of Las Vegas, Nevada. She is an Associate Professor of History at UNLV.
She compares the modern tennis outfit worn by Williams in the French Open with past scrutiny on women’s Athletic clothing. The author considers that “this is the recent chapter of a century-long debate over the place of informality and immodesty in our dress: how short can that skirt can be?”.
She refers to Paul Gallico –a sportswriter- that in 1936 said that “female athletes and their clothes could be offensive”.
That is the connection that the author draws of criticism of Serena Williams’ tennis outfit and past scrutiny of women’s Athletic clothing.
