Behind The Scenes Of Serena Williams’ Cover Shoot For ‘New York’ Magazine

Since the 2014 U.S. Open, Serena Williams has won four straight Grand Slam events, and she will have the chance to take home the 2015 Grand Slam on August 31 by winning the U.S. Open. 

But before she owns the title again, Williams has been busy — making the cover of New York magazine‘s highly awaited fashion issue. On the cover, Williams is wearing a physique-hugging Elizabeth and James dress, and inside the issue she dishes about her post-tennis life. 

Williams scores her photo shoot with a simple warm-up: split exercises.
