Wow! She has got some very muscular arms…
NO COMENTS
I am, for once, completely speechless.
OMFG that is the UGLIEST body I have EVER seen!! She looks like a man!! I know you need muscles and to be strong to compete in tennis, but she took it too the extreme! You don’t see Anna Kournikova looking like that. I can’t even look at those pics!
I only like her bag lol.
Way too muscular but there is also extra fat; just look at the abdominal area. That’s not buff in my opinion. Too many groceries.
i love her…shes super fit and thats awesome…ya anna kournikova isn’t like that but she also sucks at tennis…some peoples bodies are just naturally take muscle better….shes beautiful and she could kick anybodies ass any day!!!
Sausage shaped legs. It must take a lot of effort just to carry all those excess muscles around. I get tired just looking at it.
Tranny! Very feminine name but very masculine body. Ick.
Frightening.
She’s got my attention.
she looks so masculine… O_o
her z
arms and legs are a bit too much
i like her tummy though
she doesnt look bad..shes healthy and strong..good for her
anna kourikuva is anorexic…this is for the one who said “anna k doesn’t look like that”…of course not..she is sick.
OMG. Why? and Why? Why would you need to look like that (for her sport) and why would you want to look like that…maybe another question; how? how do women end up looking like that; that’s not only muscular but it’s big.
Serena is an AMAZING athlete–one of the best female tennis players of all time. So while it is not the “ideal” Hollywood body, her body is what enables her to be so damn good at her sport. And here’s an eye-opener for those who see extra “fat”– your celeb role models STARVE themselves to lose fat. To be a winning athlete, you don’t starve yourself. Serena has a heavily muscled, fit and HEALTHY body. That’s what it takes to spend hours on the court. I’d love to see any of the skinny Hollywood girls even try to last out there.
If she’s not on steroids she must have received an xtra “y” chromosome somewhere along the line. That is just wrong.
She’s an athlete … give her a break. That’s what muscle looks like, and if it’s excessive it just helps make her better at her sport. She makes money off of her muscle, not off her appearance.
Thanks for a tennis post!
She has put on weight. You should have put a before pic from a year or two ago.
You should do a post on Venus, she has a fantastic body!
Wow, does she ever have a muscular body! Good for her. She still somehow has breasts, too
That
at the end looked perverted, which was not my intention. I meant that it’s weird that she’s still feminine despite being this built.
god - that’s not nice.. keep your clothes on!!
She’s obviously just a bigger-boned girl. She would not look like Anna Kournikova even if Serena were anorexic…she is just a bigger person than Anna.
Also, I think some people build muscle much more easily than others. She is probably one of those people. She obviously works out & takes care of herself. Good for her!
My only complaint is the grandma hair: that style has got to go!
Wow. That’s not something ya see every day…. I don’t see it as bad though
I think she looks amazing.
But really - who cares what she looks like - she’s talented, her body can do things we can only dream of. I’m anorexic and can’t climb stairs anymore…omg what an achievement *sarcasm*. She’s amazing, her body is amazing.
arrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!! too much muscles!shes like a man with girl hair! its not right!
she’s very fit. obviously not a naturally skinny woman but there’s nothing wrong with that. she’s made the best of what she’s got and looks good!
i would say her biceps are a little manly but tennis does involve a lot of arm- work!
being fit, for a lady, is a good thing, but she has gone overboard
Holy torpedoes. Over-muscled. Please put some clothes on. Visually unapealing.
i find her rather scary
Some of these comments are so rude and misguided! She could kick all your skinny, unhealthy butts! She’s an athlete. Surprise - THEY …HAVE…MUSCLES!
Go eat a kleenex.
I think we all know what she’s hiding under that sarong….
This totally looks like Jamie Fox in drag. And that can’t be a good thing. In some cases, huge breast implants do not make you look more feminine.
sorry but this is gross…her body reminds me of shrek
but i feel mean saying so bcos shes such an amazing athlete.
This woman is an amazing athlete and I admire her physique, she obviously works on it a lot, but that bikini just is not happening on her. Her boobs are just all over the place, not attractive. Her legs are too bulky to wear a bikini like that. A one piece cut high on the sides maybe with some strategic cut outs at the waist would look much better on her.
Now, this is a body I completely dislike. Not because of the muscles… she’s just ill-shaped.
omg for the first time I saw the picture I thought that this is a man. OMG.
that’s looks so horrible!
I work out a lot and I truly believe that muscles look gorgeous on a girl. I would LOVE to have more muscles but there has to be a limit. She is still supposed to look like a woman! It’s not just that Anna Kournikova doesn’t look like this, do you know of ANY other famous female athletes who look like this (I’m talking cardio now, not shotput or something)?
I just don’t know how this can be attractive to men. Obviously the focus of her life is tennis right now, but doesn’t she want a husband and a family one day?
omg! look at her thighs!!!!!!!!!!!
She is a tank
I don’t know. I would NEVER want to look like this. But at the same time she is so powerful and the best at what she does….her body is like some kind of machine. I like her sister’s figure much better.
Steph–bravo. A little too much body dismorphia here. You simply can’t starve yourself and do well. A former competitive runner, I had a diet of 3500 calories a day just to break even.
Kiss my Kiwi you totally hit the nail on the head. . . she does look like a tank.
I love a muscular fit look. This is way beyond what is normal for ANY female. Carrying too much muscle can be a hindrance to a sport where one has to move and quick. It is also a stress on the heart just as too much adipose tissue would be.
She needs a new personal trainer because anyone who would design a program that this is the outcome is sorely lacking.
ewww disgustingg
I love muscular, fit women, I really do. This, however, is too much. She’s taken it way too far- and don’t tell me she needs to be this huge for TENNIS. There are pro football players who aren’t this big. She could hit a tennis ball just as hard with half the muscle, and she’d probably be quicker to boot.
Also, based on what I know about endocrinology, I have serious doubts that she could achieve this level of muscularity and bulk without steroids or a medical disorder.
the first pic is a little scary
It looks a little intense but there is no denying (as long as there are no drugs involved which I’m pretty sure there aren’t) that she has a fantastically healthy and toned body.
Oh and wowza - there is not an ounce of fat on that body, the only area on her midriff which sticks out are her ABS. Not excess fat.
Russell Brand wanted to do her when he met her but I’m not sure he is that fussy.
you guys kill me. This woman is a CHAMPION, she excels in her sport, and she is CONFIDENT, and you guys are criticizing her. But when Mary Kate, or Posh Spice are on here looking like tired, sweaty, crack addicts, then they’re praised for their ability to sit around and starve themselves into utter uselessness. Jesus.
geeze. she isn’t “SUPPOSED” to look like anything..maybe she doesn’t care what she looks like, and that’s ok since she’s obviously very healthy..maybe she does care, but this is just the shape she is when she’s in top form…(alot of athletes would prefer a different body type, but accept what they have as a method of being successful)… or try this one… maybe she doesn’t define a woman the same way you do..and she LIKES to look powerful and muscular. maybe she doesn’t identify muscles as manly maybe to her they show all the hard work and discipline she puts into herself. some women define manly as having a p*nis… i’m not one that believes everyone can’t have their own opinion about what looks good and what doesn’t, but just a word of advice.. you sound like an uneducated and uncultured idiot when you make definitive statements about subjects that are a matter of opinion.
and for the record… i’m not a fan of her body type..i prefer to be smaller, but just as toned.
Couldn’t agree with you more Ashley! Ok so she’s not skinny or thin, but she looks happy and confident. Do MK and Ashley smile? How about VB? No! That is because they are miserable, hungry, probably always thinking about the foods they can’t eat! Thats not a way to live! Selena takes great pride in her body, she works out, you can see that! The critism is shocking in this thread!
LOL @ Tessa. Bet it’s a big one, too.
that’s just…..horrible
looks like a man with boobs, nothing feminine about her, her boobs look as though they belong to someone older or less fit
You know she is a professional tennis player, it is her job to be as fit as she can be!
I hate the look of all athletic women, BUT she’s prob. the only sportswoman I can stand to watch. At least when she plays tennis, it’s semi-interesting, she doesn’t rely on her opponent making unforced errors like all other female players, and she has a decent serve. Basically all women’s sports are just some weak, pathetic version of the men’s.
SHE LOOKS AWESOME!!!
@lose that girl: I love the “go eat a kleenex”!
Those are huge quadriceps. But yeah, athletes have athletic bodies.
The first pic though is not very flattering.
ummmm No No No!
Maria Sharapova is an amazing tennis player and she has a beautiful body
Oh here we go, black woman = mannish. yawn. She looks great and fit.
If she lifted more weights, she could be a great body builder.
i actually like her legs, shapely and toned, compared to bony and veiny chicken legs of the scrawny Hilton sisters. sausage legs are what mischa barton got.
I don’t get it… Venus is just as amazing at tennis and has a feminine body… i just dont get it
Wow! I wonder what her body fat percentage is…
Well, she has a nice smile. The end.
Me no like.
Ummmm…she could look emaciated? Uh other than that, I don’t really have much to say.
She is definitely too muscular, to the point where she doesn’t look female. But it’s alright, I mean, she is an athlete.
Anyone notice she has a really sweet smile in those photos? I’ve mostly just seen her playing tennis, so it’s cool to get a different view. Some people here seem to thinks she should stay off the beach just because she doesn’t have the body of an actress. She shouldn’t have the body of an actress, unless she can do that AND stay on top of her game.
oh mygod!!how can a woman look like that?steroids maybe??
waaay too buff for a woman!!
she looka like a man
Ew… definitely not the body I would like.
disgusting. even bone-thin girls look better than her, she’s more buff than most guys.
“I love muscular, fit women, I really do. This, however, is too much. She’s taken it way too far- and don’t tell me she needs to be this huge for TENNIS.

Well, if her apparently musclarity were truly a threat to her sport, my guess is she’d be a hell of a lot less successful than she is. You certainly never see her out of breath or falling behind cause of her ‘bulk’ And if that’s your conclusion based on what you know about endocrinology, my guess is you don’t know that much. Have a look at the size of a female swimmer and her proportions - this is completely doable. I know competitive swimmers who are a size 14 in the shoulders and a size 0 or 2 at the waist - what we know about women’s bodies and athletic abilities is pretty much nil, nobody’s ever taken it seriously as an object of study in any real longterm way.
I like it.Better than a fat woman which has no muscles.
Holy *** on a *** sandwich
I’d like to psychoanalyze any person who finds that attractive.
She’s a man, Baby!!
Ashley, you hit the nail on the head! Way to go.
Oh. My. God.
She obviously has a big frame and theres not one ounce of fat on the girls body! Although her body is too manly for my liking. She would look better if she stopped working out so much.
Wow
She is all muscle as well.. not an ounce of fat on her..
Maybe it’s not the most attractive or feminine body, but atleast she’s put it to good use and not just seen it as an object to look at!!
I bet she is healthier and fitter than 95% of all these other celebrities…
You comparing her to Kournikova is so dumb, besides the fact that she is complete trash at the sport, the girl is always starving herself and working at like mad. Some people’s bodies are just naturally adept at taking muscles better. Besides working out, it’s also in Serena’s genes and her body type. Plus, she’s fucking AMAZING at what she does so shutup with your ignorance!! “She looks like a man.” “EW, OMG look at her muscles!”
Whatever she may be (fit, muscular, healthy) she is the total opposite from sexy.
ew. she must work very hard to look that gross, sad.
SHE LOOKS LIKE A MAN ! it would be funny to see her SCARY SKINNY
” I think we all know what she’s hiding under that sarong…. ”
bahahahahaha genius
she’s so muscular! it’s actually really shocking
I think this woman is doing a great job of making the best of her natural body type. Most women inclined to be built as she is let themselves just be really big and fat. I applaud her for working hard to stay fit.
I understand that not a lot of women prefer to look this way, but you can’t expect everyone to fit the same mould. We need to take each individual body type/genetic pattern into account and give credit based on what is done with it imo.
I guess I should have read some of the comments first - you people who are saying she’s not a woman etc should be ashamed of yourselves. She IS a woman, maybe not the shape you would prefer, but that doesn’t change it. Why so ugly?
amazing body that has earned her millions, she can’t help her build,i have seen that dad of hers…i see where this comes from
I actually don’t think she looks that bad… Yes, she is muscular, but I think her face is still feminine and pretty. She is a big boned person to begin with so it doesn’t surprise me this is how she looks with so many muscles. While I wouldn’t wish to be this muscular myself, I wish I had the discipline to become this fit. I think the “what’s hiding under that sarong” comments are completely immature. Please, that comment doesn’t even have anything to do with her weight, I think comments of that sort should just not be said. It is a worse reflection on you than on her.
I would rather look more like this than be starving to death (and locking it!) like Nicky Hilton or someone in that group of skeletons.
she’s a beautiful gal and an amazing ATHLETE…extreme tennis playing will do that to your body..and plus: she’s a professional tennis player so im guessing that she has to play tennis [that in itself already changes your body- i would know], second extreme training, weightlifting, different diet that builds muscle…and then you have to factor in her body type too: she’s an African-American Woman…we have way more curves naturally…all in a days work…
and then again…all that muscle…not too attractive… i like her hair though…
IO would love to be this toned, but not this muscular. She doesnt appear to have any flab or cellulite anywhere.
Are you sure that’s not a man?
Jesus, some of you girls are just pathetic - okay, shes got muscle, but thats far from a bad thing, shes clearly super fit and good on her for not following the ‘got-to-be-skinny-like-a-twig’ craze thats constantly hiped about here and in the States
Serena is certainly on the larger side for a world-class athlete. For all the running around she does on the tennis courts, you would think she would be a bit more lean. I think she just has a big frame and her body must build muscle quickly. Anna Kournikova looks anorexic and malnourished, and that’s not healthy. Maria Sharapova has the best female tennis body.
She is muscular all right, but it also looks like she can lose about 15-20lbs of flab, without wasting any of the muscle. I think there is a reason why she wrapped something around this “powerful” behind of hers
lili i seriously hope you were kidding…
“but it also looks like she can lose about 15-20lbs of flab, without wasting any of the muscle”
seriously..15-20 lbs?? i don’t even think so.
not everyone wears sarongs to cover fat… someties it’s just about modesty.
She’s healthy and muscular, but her body doesn’t appeal to me.
i was like why is lenny kravitz exra dark?
then i was like why is he in a bikini?
shes a freakin ATHELETE!!!!
just like supermodels are thin
athelethes r supposed to look strong…
duh
Tessa- OMG I laughed so hard @ your comment! HAHAH! Seriously… if it weren’t for the boobs I’d be conviced that were a man. Honestly, I am shocked…
She’s all power in her tennis. She’s FINE. Well, she’s not a Hollywood celebrity, that explains how she looks, and that’s why she’s so muscular. It’s just this bikini isn’t flattering. Maybe she should wear a one-piece in a darker color perhaps?
omg I usually appreciate muscular women but she looks like a man.. I have to say it..
blimey.
to Mel B….Anna Kournikova also never won anything…
She still doesn’t looks as awful as Madonna looks.
Anyway, it’s a typical tennis build to be on the boxy side unless that’s just not your body type, but she gained some weight when she took time off and although she’s in better shape, I don’t think she lost all that she gained.
I was not prepared to see this:) but..this body has helped her earn a few dollars
Ewwwwww! She is too muscular but she is also FAT! I prefer Madonna’s super fit look! Venus Williams has a much better body… I wonder if she is taking any substances (doping)…
Looks like a man with a wig on. Even her voice sounds like she’s on hormones. i don’t understand how working out so much changes your voice like that. Remember Chynna from WWF? Her voice was the same way and she was real muscular. What’s up with that?
i like her body. she looks so strong and tight and glowing, i’m qite impressed.
Serena’s first career is sports. She is huge because that is what she gets paid to do. I think if she dated a guy that was ginormous and a professional sportsman she would look very feminine next to him. (football, basketball, wrestler (is wrestling a sport?)) After all she always dresses like a girl, wears her nails long and takes a lot of time with her hair. Her skin is always smooth and gorgeous.
What’s up with the negative comments? She has an awesome body. I mean, she’s an athlete, not a super model.
I would NOT do her! She scares me!!
better that being a fat-ass!!!! I’ll take her body anyday over that chick nicky blocknski( from highschool musical)LOL
is Nicky Blosnski or what-ever her name is under age??? my post is under MODERATION… why??
Somebody took too many roids. She used to be thinner- more feminine.
Rian, please do a comparison - she has been on something to make her look like the Incredible Haulk.
To Wowza “That’s not buff in my opinion. Too many groceries.”
Your comment is just ignorant. She is extremely muscular in her stomach. She isn’t showing any groceries or fat. I think she is a bit too muscular, but she is extremely fit.
I think she is just naturally that muscular. She even confesses in interviews that she hates working out.
what are you talking about Wowza. this girls has barely any bodyfat, shes muscular, i can almost garantee you she probly has 13% bodyfat if not lower which is lower than a girl like reese witherspoon
She is a very nice person. But, she looks more like a American football player rather than a tennis player.
Well, her figure is fine considering she’s an athlete. Plus she’s probably naturally stocky and muscular.
now ii know what thunder-thighs really means
*shudder*
p.s VOGUE.ELLIE.
i think she has at least a couple of ounces of fat on her.
sure lo0ks lyk it
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!
You don’t see Anna Kournikova looking like because in addition to having hardly any tennis ability, the girl double faults a whole game when she DID play tournaments
She is a bit manly, but shes an elite athlete- it’s probably why she’s good at what she does.
Serena looks wonderful, not everyone is supposed to be rail thin, and flat as a board. Curves and muscles are beautiful and all women should be celebrated. At least she is not at home starving to fit into a sample size and instead out on the court, blazing a trail for other women in sports.
she is not a dainty girl, but her body is fit. I would not want to be as big as she is and I am thankful I do not have her big frame.
All you BBB’s are idiots… how do you expect someone to be a tennis champion without muscles??! She looks that way because she KICKS it at tennis.
Too muscular for my tastes, but she is a kick butt tennis player!
I never post on this site, but honesty you people are pathetic. It is obviously not in her DNA to look like a twig. And for everyone who is comparing her to Anna Kournikova; that chick SUCKS at tennis. Serena has also beat Maria Sharapova 6-1 6-0 at tennis. So stop comparing her to women that she kicks a$$ at in tennis. She is an amazing athlete and has a great competitive personality.
Kurnikova is not even a tennis player now, and to be honest never was a good one. Serena is amzing on the court! Although she does not have the very slim body, she can pull it off on the beach (she looks here much better than in the clothes on the court). She looks really good for her figure here.
‘Jesus, some of you girls are just pathetic - okay, shes got muscle, but thats far from a bad thing, shes clearly super fit and good on her for not following the ‘got-to-be-skinny-like-a-twig’ craze thats constantly hiped about here and in the States’
Well would YOU want to look like that? Would you trade your body for hers? No (sane) woman would ever willingly want her frame, and yes, muscle and toning isn’t a bad thing at all. but when you look like a MAN, then you look repulsive. I mean her thights are HUGE! She’s a heffer and she looks gross.
You people make me sick. She’s an athlete for crying out loud, her job isn’t to look pretty. Comparing her to ‘tennis players’ like Anna Kournikova is also ridiculous. Besides I think her body IS beautiful because it’s a thing sculpted to serve a purpose. Why don’t you go and win a few Grand Slams and then call her ugly.
