In Harper's Bazaar, tennis star Serena Williams talked about accepting her body.
In the August issue, Serena says that growing up, she always wanted to have a body like her sister, Venus, but is now happy about what she has:
"I'm supercurvy. I have big boobs and this massive butt. She's [Venus] tall and she's like a model and she fits everything. I was always fitting in her clothes, but then one day I couldn't."
She admits that she's never dieted but is constantly working out, hoping to trim some of her thickness.
"I've been doing Pilates and yoga, trying to lean out my body so I won't be bulky," she said.
Isn't the "bulkiness" what we love about Serena?
As for what she is accomplishing on the court, over the holiday weekend, it was just another day at the office for Serena.
Williams easily swept Vera Zvonareva 6-3, 6-2, on Saturday to win her fourth Wimbledon title. The match took 67 minutes, and Williams continued to prove that she's one of the greatest tennis players of all time.
"My dream was able to come true," Serena said after the match. "Everyone's dream can come true if you just stick to it and work hard. This one is very special."
To put it in perspective, of the last 11 Wimbledon tournaments, the Williams sisters own nine of the titles. This was the first Wimbledon final that Serena did not have to face Venus.
