Need to provide context. Is it just tape, or is it a band-aid or gauze tape to cover a cut or wound? They make skin-toned stuff for that these days.
Is it to help block the glare of sunlight? Like how football players and baseball players do for games? Traditionally, they used some sort of black makeup or something they just smeared onto their faces, but there's also tape that's used for the same purpose.
Otherwise, I have no more speculations to offer.....

She’s had black tape in her face th least 2 tournaments. No one else does it. Looks more like nelly or left eye Lopez than sinus relief. Was just curious if there was a reason.
Williams has addressed problems with sinuses since 2007 and again at Wimbledon this year. They were thinking it was some protest against their all-white dress code.
Gave that news to Vogue magazine in an interview. https://nypost.com/2022/08/09/serena-williams-retirement-tennis-career-over-after-us-open/
Sad to see her go. Had a chance to see her play live at the US Open and Family Circle Tournaments. What an incredible athlete.
Neither do I, but I read the NY Post, which reported her intention as revealed to Vogue.
Stopped watching tennis when players started screaming when hitting the ball. Sounds like they are being assaulted which ruined the enjoyment of the sport. Yes, this includes Serena screaming too.
They don’t all do it. Some do it louder than others and it is annoying. I think sometimes they use it as a distraction.
It got outrageous when that Monica Seles carried it to unprecedented crescendos.
