Common must be doing a body good...

Never have I seen Miss Serena look so good! Common must be doing something right! Sike, let me stop. This is all due credit to Miss Williams herself. No man could make her look that good (but a little airbrushing might *wink*)

This month she is gracing the cover of Monarch Magazine. Below is a snippet from the article:

Being an African American in this sport, how do you think your success has changed the view of life for young African Americans who follow your career? It's been great. When I was growing up, there weren't many African American tennis players that I could look up to out there, except for Zena Garrison. She had such an impact on my life. I hope that I might have that same impact on others some day. Then I would know that everything I've done would have been worthwile.

How long do you think you can keep playing this game professionally? Well, I'm enjoying it so much. The energy and excitement is always there. I can do it for another eight years.

How do you deal with pressure of playing tennis? My father told me, the pressure you have is the pressure you put on yourself.

That last picture is pure fierceness! In fact, it reminds me of a picture from my most recent photo shoot. What do you guys think?
