Serena Williams used to compete with her sister off the court as much as on it.
In the August issue of Harper's Bazaar, the 28-year-old tennis champ revealed it took her two decades to accept that her body was never going to be as willowy as her older sister's.
"I'm super-curvy. I have big boobs and this massive butt. She's tall and she's like a model and she fits everything," she told the fashion magazine.
According to Williams, she wanted to be her sister so much as that she often dove into her closet.
"I was always fitting in her clothes, but then one day I couldn't," she said.
Since then Williams has gone on to replace her 30-year-old sister as number one ranking player in the world (her sister is no. 4, though she holds six more career tennis titles than her sibling).
Since January, she has also been approaching her sister in stature as well, dropping from a size 12 to 10.
"I've been doing Pilates and yoga, trying to lean out my body so I won’t be bulky," she told the magazine, adding that she never diets.
"I don't even know the D word."
Though she considers her arms a little "too fit," Williams revealed that she likes her smile best.
"I think a smile can make your whole body," she told Bazaar. "Models, they look fabulous, but they don't smile and they look so mad."
That smile may have been what attracted rapper and actor Common. Williams was dating the "Just Wright" star until they broke up in May, reportedly over conflicting schedules.
"He didn't want the responsibility," Williams told Bazaar. "It's really tough."
