Glamorous Serena on cover of "Ebony" magazine

In the new issue of "Ebony" magazine Serena Williams Discusses Dating, Olympic Bid and Staying Fit.



Here's an excerpt from their exclusive interview with the tennis champ:

There’s no match for Serena Williams on or off the court. Showing off her stellar brick-house physique, the 5-foot-9 1/2-inch tennis star and Olympic gold-hopeful hung out with EBONY magazine in Malibu, Calif., in an exclusive cover shoot. To keep her body in top condition, Serena indulges in scrumptious salads, which include feta cheese, candied walnuts and strawberries. “It’s too hot in the summer to cook, so I love to grill chicken and fish,” she adds.

"I also love to grill vegetables and serve them chilled.” When asked about her rumored love interest, Common, Serena had this to say, “I think he’s a great guy. He’s obviously a great artist who is timeless and classic. You can’t beat that. But I have to focus on tennis because that’s my goal in life.”

Williams, who was upset in the third round of Roland Garros, appears in Common's new video "I Want You."



Check out some behind the scenes video footage of the 26-year old at the photoshoot.
