She has been ranked World No. 1 by the Women's Tennis Association on four separate occasions; as of April 20, 2009 she is ranked World No. 2. She is the reigning US Open and Australian Open singles champion and has won twenty Grand Slam titles: ten in singles, eight in doubles, and two in mixed doubles. She has won two Olympic gold medals in women's doubles.[3] She is the most recent player, male or female, to hold all four Grand Slam singles titles simultaneously. Williams has won more career prize money than any other female athlete.[2]So ummm... why does the media (and web boards) go on and on about her supposedly fat ass?

* Kudos to Wyclef, who wrote a song about Serena's sister, Venus, because he was so inspired by her when he met her on a show about innovators.
Questionay for the Day: Do your successes help offset any negative feelings you have about your body? Or do your negative thoughts outweigh your successes?
