The roar of the crowd, the thunder of her serve, the sheer dominance – these are the hallmarks of the Serena Williams era. But her legacy extends beyond trophies and records. It's a story of breaking barriers, shattering expectations, and inspiring a generation to believe in the impossible

Body

Serena Williams owns the spotlight with her iconic, powerhouse look. Her strong, athletic build, combined with bold, eye-catching outfits—like the black catsuit she wore at the 2018 French Open—makes her unstoppable. With her fierce gaze and confident stride, she’s the definition of power, grace, and style in every appearance.

Her figure is an example of hourglass body type. Serena weighs 154 lbs (70 kg) and wears 36D bra size. She has large natural breasts and hips. Williams maintains her body in good athletic shape.

Diet

Serena Williams is a raw vegan during tennis season, which means she's all about natural, uncooked foods. Breakfast isn't really her jam, though. Serena isn't a morning person and often skips it. But when she does eat, she goes for a mix of oats with strawberries, tangerines, and almond butter. Before a match, she tries to fuel up with some protein and carbs, but it's tough due to nerves. She once mentioned choking down turkey sausage and a baked potato before a game. When she's not on a strict diet, Serena loves indulging in her favorites like moon pies, grits, and fried chicken.

Exercise

Serena Williams' fitness game is on fire! She still follows high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts, which keep her in beast mode. Serena loves to mix it up with cardio, strength training, and stretching. She’s a big fan of the Tonal home gym system and also enjoys sweating it out on her Peloton bike.

Even though she's retired from pro tennis, Serena stays super active. She told Vogue that she’s actually more active now as a mom than she was during her tennis career. She keeps things real with a mix of running, elliptical workouts, and even walking.

Throughout her legendary tennis career, Serena Williams has faced several injuries that have impacted her performance and required her to take breaks from the sport. Knee and shoulder injuries and a very serious life-threatening pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs) and a hematoma, which required emergency treatment and extended recovery.

Bio

Serena Williams is a legend on and off the court! Born on September 26, 1981, in Saginaw, Michigan, she turned pro at just 14 years old in 1995. Her father homeschooled both her and Venus. While her parents served as her official coaches, she also received guidance from Richard Williams, a man from Compton who shared her father’s name and later established The Venus and Serena Williams Tennis Tutorial Academy.

She's won an insane 23 Grand Slam singles titles, more than any other player in the Open Era. Serena's powerful style of play totally revolutionized women's tennis.

Off the court, Serena's family is just as impressive. Her sister Venus Williams is also a tennis superstar, and they've teamed up to win 14 Grand Slam doubles titles and three Olympic gold medals.

Even after retiring from professional tennis in 2022, Serena stays busy with her fashion line, investments, and being an awesome mom. She launched her own fashion line called S by Serena in 2018.

Serena is featured in the Netflix documentary series called "Being Serena", which premiered in 2018. The documentary covers Serena’s journey through pregnancy, motherhood, and her return to professional tennis after giving birth to her daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. It also highlights her personal life, including her marriage to Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit.
