US Tennis star Serena Williams poses for Vanity Fair in a very risque shoot, and revealed that she hopes to be back on the court as early as January as she prepares to become a mother for the first time.  

The 35-year-old Wimbledon champion stuns on the cover of the August issue in a striking portrait photographed by longtime collaborator Annie Leibovitz, who first shot Williams, alongside her sister Venus, when she was 16 years old as she shares her plans for her sporting future in a new interview with Vanity Fair.   

Speaking of her career plans Williams said: I don't think my story is over yet,' and reveals her plans to be back on the court as soon as the new year after she delivers her first child this fall and weds fiancé and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. 

 

William also shared the photo shot with her fans on Instagram with the message; "Must read article."

With 23 grand-slam wins on the women’s pro tennis tour spanning nearly three decades—from her first, at 17 years old, in September of 1999, to her latest, at 35, in January of 2017, and the most in the open era—Serena is in the heart of every conversation concerning the best athlete of her time.
