According to Digiday reporter Kerry Flynn, the game is technically a "partnership," not an ad. That means that it's not some weird sponsored content for Wimbledon, where Wimbledon paid Snapchat to make this happen — or where Serena Williams got paid to share her likeness. Apparently, she just really loves Bitmoji.

You can find the Serena lens by pressing down on your screen until lenses populate on either side of the camera button. Swipe through until you see that neon green tennis ball with an S. Game, set, match!
