It’s that time of year again!
The release of the coveted ESPN’s Body Issue is just around the corner and here is a FIRST LOOK at five-time Wimbledon champion, Venus Williams. The 6 ft. 1 in. tennis player and fashion designer looks like an African goddess in her birthday suit with her face looking towards the heavens and her long, black hair cascading down her back. The photo is just one of the many looks that will be revealed on Wednesday (June 25) on ESPN.com.
Inside the issue, Williams talks about bought with the autoimmune disorder, Sjogren’s Syndrome and how she was able to bounce back!
“Because of Sjogren’s syndrome, I have to be careful,” she says. “If I train too hard, then I won’t be able to do anything the next day. There would be times when I’d park my car at home and I fell asleep behind the wheel because I was so tired. It’s a balance between pushing myself as much as I can and being reasonable about what I can achieve and what my body will tolerate.”
Look for the ESPN Body Issue to officially hit newsstands on July 11.
