Posing in a swimsuit, her figure on show, it’s clear Serena Williams is proud of her body. But the 32-year-old tennis master has revealed that wasn’t always the case – as she used to yearn for a more traditionally athletic figure. But with her success on the court – she is currently world number one – Serena learned to love her body.
‘When I was young I thought I should be built more like an athlete—long and lean—not with a womanly figure,’ she told Fitness magazine, on whose May issue she poses. But as she found increased success Sernea developed a huge following. She explained: ‘But then people my age started coming up to me and saying, “I love you because of the way you look.” That was really motivating. ‘So I learned to be proud of my curves and embrace my large boobs. It’s all about loving who you are and realizing that you’re beautiful.’
Serena is currently the reigning French Open, US Open, WTA Tour Championships and Olympic ladies singles champion. Serena is the oldest player in history to be ranked world number one.
