An apparently fully nude Serena Williams is the cover athlete of ESPN’s ‘The Body’ Issue. This image was uploaded by ESPN public relations spokesperson Crystal Howard to Twitter this morning:
Here’s the lineup of other athletes in the issue, including topless surfer Claire Bevilacqua and Joba Chamberlain!
And yes, I’ve confirmed that Danica Patrick is also in the issue.
And now an original has been posted - by radio’s Bomani Jones @ 850 The Buzz’s blog:

She’s a man baby!
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.
3:21 pm on October 5th, 2009
They should test her like they did to the South African sprinter!
3:53 pm on October 5th, 2009
Danica Q&A?
4:15 pm on October 5th, 2009

4:54 pm on October 5th, 2009

5:27 pm on October 5th, 2009
UNBEWEAVABLE!

Good God she has an incredible bod…I bet sharapova and whoever else’s ass she kicks on the tour every week wish they had half of that

Black is Beautiful & Sexy!, Love That Body
8:40 am on October 6th, 2009
God creation of the human body is a masterpiece! I don’t care what ppl think. She’s obviously very comfortable in her own skin.
8:46 am on October 6th, 2009
There’s nothing distasteful about it either. No more is shown here than we’ve already seen on the court. Don’t be so immature about it. Being an athlete, the magazine is displaying her physicality. But I know there will be haters saying whatever.
9:24 am on October 6th, 2009
Strong women are hot, I hate a woman that doesn’t like to sweat, Serena is absolutely a woman!!!!
9:35 am on October 6th, 2009
wau
9:46 am on October 6th, 2009
She’d probably break my d**k off….BUT she’s kinda hot in a “I’m scared of my girlfriend” kind of way.
10:10 am on October 6th, 2009
Looks like mr.hanky the Christmas poo
1:04 pm on October 6th, 2009
Forgot to take the panties off.
That is some hefty leg you got there girl!
And let those boobs fall where they may!
5:01 pm on October 6th, 2009
Don’t say anything negative about Serena. She might threaten to kill you like that line judge she threatened at the U.S. Open.
5:29 pm on October 6th, 2009
THERE SHOULD BE MORE BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMEN GRACING THE PAGES OF AMERICAN MAGAZINES — MUCH PROPZ 2 SERENA AND ESPN
7:33 pm on October 6th, 2009
I share CJ’s opinion on this one. Where are the pictures of Gina?
Not this monster.
10:59 pm on October 6th, 2009
Serena has a killer body. All natural too. Nice and thick.
11:18 pm on October 6th, 2009
Lots of hate for a woman who kicks @$$ on the court and would probably kick all your @$$e$$ in bed. Not that she would even be interested in bigoted jerks like you.
Personally, I think her figure is athletic and incredibly sexy. I sympathize with her passion on the court. I’d be pissed as hell too if after all my hard work and sweat before and during a major tournament boiled down to a line judge nitpicking about my foot being an inch or two too far forward. Most people, I’m sure, would have reacted in a similar way.
She is fine as hell, she plays to win and does a great job of it for the most part. I am a fan of hers.
11:24 pm on October 6th, 2009
She looks incredible… Wow… I can understand how men don’t like the “Serena” look… It really takes a man with the right blend of confidence and the proper “tools” to appreciate a woman with such an amazing figure. So fellas, don’t take it personal… Just stay in your lane (Hint: Danica Patrick)!
1:28 am on October 7th, 2009
I’m betting all the haters are non-Black.
3:03 am on October 7th, 2009
plz participate in miss world competition u will be won definitely
11:52 am on October 7th, 2009
Thats how a woman should be. Annouce to the whole world Serena is a real woman in all spheres of life.
2:34 pm on October 7th, 2009
I’m white and I think she’s hot. All of the haters would in real life be premature if they even got a chance with her. Give me the big bootie!
2:49 pm on October 7th, 2009
Black is beautiful ! Wow What a woman I like her.
5:37 pm on October 7th, 2009
damnnnnn HOT!!! most of u can’t handle her!
11:21 pm on October 7th, 2009

y she z wearing dress druing match….
12:44 am on October 8th, 2009
I wouldn’t want to handle this she male.
I’ll take Gina a real woman with a great body built for pleasure as opposed to this wildebeest.
2:42 pm on October 8th, 2009
THAT GIRL IS BAD!!!
12:20 pm on October 9th, 2009
Fuys if you think this is a man then you’re spending too much time gazing at men. This is a very nice athletic woman who is comfortable with herself. I love her play on the court and her boldness.
1:34 pm on October 9th, 2009
she is too sweet
11:58 pm on October 9th, 2009
All the haters may be non-black but this non-black guy has a big time thing for Serena Williams. She is a beautiful, strong, sexy woman. Killer bod, amazing figure, just an incredible looking women.
Oh yeah, she can play tennis pretty freaking good too. She doesn’t rely solely on her looks, she’s earned her fame.
Damn I want her.
4:49 pm on October 11th, 2009
She is a 10.
6:16 pm on October 11th, 2009
Are you freaking kidding me she is soooo Hot!
2:49 am on October 13th, 2009
Hey LoveTennis, look at the pic again. That’s a shadow, not panties knucklehead. And for all of you haters who think she’s a “man”, you must NOT be. Any REAL MAN can see that this is one helluva specimen of a woman’s body. Sculpted by the gods themselves.
2:17 am on October 14th, 2009
Anyone that gave a bad comment on here about this pretty lady has some sort of deformity in their brains which explains why i see all those negative comments….if you can’t tell thats a woman then you aint straight….y’ll gettin off on the picture and stll wanna talk crap because you cant have her
4:10 pm on October 14th, 2009
Serena is a absolutely gorgeous beautiful black woman. She is a physical speciment that is without peers, OMG!!!!!!!!!
4:13 pm on October 14th, 2009
And as far as all the gay guys and those negative comments, you like what you like and i ain’t mad at ya, but any man knows just how wonderful and awesome an experience it would be to love, caress and seduce this fine baby girl, right here. Holla!!!
12:10 am on October 15th, 2009
Wow a lot of guys here apparently are attracted to amazons because Serena is beastly.
Gina Carano’s cover a lot better.
12:28 am on October 26th, 2009
LOTS of photoshop on that one.
If you like men with a vagina, you are in luck. I guess.
10:51 am on November 8th, 2009

9:35 am on February 2nd, 2010
If Serena is a man, so what? She is one beautiful looking (woooooooo)man. If loving a beautiful ‘person’ is wrong, I don’t want to be right. Y’all just jealous BAAAAABBBBBYYYY!!!!!!!
