Tennis icon Serena Williams stuns on the cover of Porter magazine, in a flawless close-up with the headline, “Unmatched.”
But the star herself chose one of the inside photos to open her own Instagram share — a jaw-dropping pic of the athlete rocking a skimpy black one-piece swimsuit and heeled shoes next to an ultra-glam pool in Florida. As she flaunts her chiseled arms and legs — and dramatic weight loss — a light ray of sunshine hits her face, with palm trees as her backdrop.
“She is one of the most powerful, accomplished women on the planet – but even Serena Williams has moments of self-doubt and anxiety, though she’s resolving to step into next year with greater confidence,” captioned the magazine for its Monday, December 1 share of the cover to Instagram.
The glossy, which is produced by Net-a-Porter, also quoted Williams: “I’m discovering me again,” the tennis supernova and 23-time Grand Slam winner tells [writer Alice Casely-Hayford]. “In her PORTER cover interview, she talks about survival strategies for life in the public eye, raising her daughters, and the many exciting ventures that are bringing her joy following her retirement from the court,” the caption continues.
Fans of the athlete immediately flooded the comments sections of both posts.
“YIKES!!!” Raved one. “👏👏Wow!!Looking so fit and elegant!!!”
“Looking phenomenal ❤️🔥,” agreed another.

“OK Serena!” Added a third. “I was not expecting this on the first of December, but this is the gift that I wanted for Christmas. Now, can we get back on the court?! 🎾”
“If you need me I’ll be at the gym,” quipped a fourth. “Dang girl. 👏👏👏”
Williams has spoken publicly about using GLP-1 for weight loss.
