For the second time tennis superstar Serena Williams is gracing the cover of Vogue magazine, this time for their April 2015 shape issue. She is joined in the interview by her best friend and fellow tennis champ Caroline Wozniaki. In the pages she talks everything from being lonely, interactions with men, family and dishes how she maintains her sexy and curvy physique.
“Nowadays everybody goes to the gym. But when I won my first Grand Slam, I had never been.” Even then, however, she was ambivalent about her naturally muscular physique, refusing to lift weights lest her arms get bigger. “I hated my arms,” she remembers. “I wanted them to look soft.” To this day, she uses TheraBands instead of weights to avoid overdeveloping her muscles.
With all her accolades and success she reveals though that she does get lonely.
“It’s hard and lonely at the top. That’s why it’s so fun to have Caroline and my sister, too. You’re a target when you’re number one. Everyone wants to beat you. Everyone talks behind your back, and you get a lot more criticism. God forbid I lose. It’s like ‘Why?’ Well, I am human.”
She also dished on her post tennis career plans, and would like to expand her current fashion line and focus on more philanthropic efforts.
” When the tennis does end, she has plans to expand her interest in fashion beyond her current clothing line on the Home Shopping Network into something more high-end. She also hopes to increase her philanthropic activities—there’s a school in Kenya she has funded, along with a nursing scholarship named after her slain sister, and a partnership with the Equal Justice Initiative, an Alabama-based nonprofit that provides legal representation to indigent clients.”
She shared a snap online of herself reading the issue while taking in some sun and rocking a two piece showcasing her hot body.
