Twenty-one time grand slam winner Serena Williams epitomizes style and grace not only on the court but off-court as well. The tennis champ looked absolutely stunning while gracing the cover of New York Magazine's fashion issue, showing off her toned body - she's never looked hotter!

The cover features Serena rocking a sexy form-fitting black bodysuit with a cutout in the middle to reveal her ripped abs, while doing a split, exhibiting her long lean legs. Apparently, this is what your body looks like when you've been playing tennis for 16 years and have three grand slams under your belt in the past six months, according to Hollywood Life.

 
In the feature, the tennis star opens up about life outside the tennis court, revealing that "first real love" was not tennis - but designing wedding dresses. "That was my first real love, but then I was like, 'Listen. I'm playing professional tennis. I'll just do athletic wear,'" said Williams, who also rocks a slitted Elizabeth and James dress in the photos, according to US Weekly.

Serena is taking athletic wear to the next level and bringing "fashion back to tennis." Her line boasts everything from leather crop tops to camo pants to peekaboo floral skirts.

"I feel like I have a desire to be better than ever," she continued. "I am never, ever satisfied. I always want to do more, be more, reach a new level. Not just in tennis but in everything I do."

The immensely talented athlete shared a behind-the-scenes picture of her doing an impressive splits pose on Instagram captioned, "Still working on that toe point @gqlew," according to E!.
