She’s beyond doubt the greatest female tennis player of our time, and she’s serving that same greatness on the cover of Allure’s February 2019 issue photographed by Zhenya and Tanya Posternak.

Here are some excerpts from her accompanying profile

“I’m feeling pretty good about my body. I worked hard at it in the past eight months to get back from the baby. It hasn’t been easy. I’m not 21 anymore. But I did it slow and steady. After I came out [of the hospital], I had a stomach, but I thought, This is kind of cool. I have a stomach because the baby was there.”

“I loved being pregnant. I loved everything about it. I was one of those weird people that loved being pregnant. Those annoying people.”

“I have a picture from when I was, like, two years old. My arms are ripped. If you look at my daughter, she has a very similar body type.”

“I think my mom instilled in us to be confident women, to really believe in ourselves, be proud of our heritage, our hair, and our bodies. That was something that was really important for her to teach us,” she continues. I’m definitely teaching it to my daughter.”
