Former World No.1 Caroline Wozniacki and Serena Williams posed nude for the covers of ESPN annual body issue and Vanity Fair respectively and shared the images on their official Twitter accounts.
23-time Grand Slam champion Williams showed off her pregnancy with a nude photo for the cover of magazine Vanity Fair. The cover was unveiled on Tuesday. Serena had announced her pregnancy in April just a few months after her victory at the Australian Open.
Wozniacki became the latest tennis star to bare it all and feature for a magazine cover which features the many physiques of elite athletes. She shared the image of the cover with pride and said, “Proud and excited for this one! Thank you #ESPNBody for the cover!!”
Serena says in the magazine that her “heart dropped” when she learnt of it. “It just doesn’t seem real. I don’t know why. Am I having a baby?” Williams is quoted as saying, “I don’t know what to do with a baby… I’ve done absolutely nothing for the baby room.”
Williams had earlier hit back at John McEnroe after the latter had said that she would probably have ranked 700th if she was on the Men’s tour.
“Dear John, I adore and respect you but please please keep me out of your statements that are not factually based,” she wrote, “I’ve never played anyone ranked ‘there’ nor do I have time. Respect me and my privacy as I’m trying to have a baby. Good day sir.”

Williams has won the most Grand Slams titles in the Open era. Her number is five more than Roger Federer, who has won the most in the men’s game. She is one short of matching Margaret Court’s record of 24 titles.
She was expected to challenge for the record this year but said that she would be taking the rest of 2017 off due to the pregnancy.
