Tennis Pro Serena Williams, and her curvaceous figure, has sparked plenty of conversations in the past few months -- both negative and positve. Recent articles compared the athlete's body to that of a man's and implied that women don't want to look as masculine as the younger Wiliams sister. But, a recent photo of Williams wearing a bathing suit posted to her Instagram shows that people, both men and women, love the curvy shape and flooded the photo with encouraging and complimentary comments.
The photo that shows the Tennis pro with Arrow star Colton Haynes and a female friend enjoying a day in the sun packed with some fun water activities has caused quite a stir on Instagram. People repored that Williams was sporting a one-piece swimsuit as she enjoyed some time off to recover from injuries.

The photo captioned,"Core memories with @valgabond @coltonlhaynes love you guys," has added new memories to the 34-year-old's Instagram from those who love her body; especially her backside. Comments came flooding in like,

One Huffington Post reporter argued what most have been arguing since The New York Times published a story entitled, Tennis's Top Women Balance Body Image With Ambition, Williams may be an incredibly fit and toned athlete but, she definitely looks like a woman.
"She is glorious. And more importantly, she is the kind of woman we should want our daughters to look up to."
Some of the Instagram comments were not so pleasant. Followers insinuated that Williams photo shopped the photo to enhance her butt and slim her stomach.
- megannjulia@tienteonline I'm not saying she doesn't but she doesn't need to photoshop herself & try to make herself look like what she's not
- megannjulia@igbrownbeauties her waist mainly and her legs. if you actually look you can see how it gets blurry around the area. the tube juts out at one little part and that's from trying to make her waist look smaller. and her elbow is pushed down and in and it looks off. also her the outline of her leg gets bumpy ish and blurry everything is just super visible to me
At least the comments doesn't say she looks like a man. "Serena Williams is what a woman looks like. Bye, haters," Huffington Post said, clearing up any doubt.
