The 34-year-old tennis champion, with 21 Grand Slam singles titles under her belt, says she wants to be a role model after spending years comparing her busty, muscular body to leaner athletes
Serena said she had been hurt by the "flack" she faced for her curvy yet muscled physique but said she has since become happier with her body.
The sportstar said she found it hard having a more muscular physique than many other female players and that her big boobs were a positive danger.

The world number one said: "Just try running with DDs that are bouncing seven inches up and down. It's distracting, not to mention dangerous, because you can tear ligaments.
"It has been a struggle to love my body.”
But Serena hit out at the “impossible ideals” for women’s bodies before adding “there's more than one way to look amazing”.

She added: "When I was younger, it was hard seeing all these thin athletes when I had more muscular curves and was big-busted."
Her bid for a record calendar-year Grand Slam in 2015 was ended by a semi-final defeat to Roberta Vinci at the US Open last year.
