Serena
Williams is going out on a limber, as the 33-year-old tennis superstar attempts
to win the Grand Slam later this month when she competes at the US Open tennis
tournament in Queens.
Williams —
posing here for New York magazine’s fashion issue — could become the first
player since Steffi Graf in 1988 to win all four major tennis titles in one
calendar year.
“I have to go into New York thinking, ‘Listen,
I want to win the US Open. I want to defend my title,’ ” the top-ranked female
tennis player — already victorious at the French and Australian opens and
Wimbledon — said last month.
“Hopefully,
people will be cheering me on to, like, push me over the edge, give me that
extra strength I need to go for this historic moment.”
At Flushing
Meadows, fans are anticipating a historic victory from Williams as tickets for
the women’s finals match are selling for an average of more than $400,
according to Forbes.
