“I didn’t know I would be naked for ESPN Body Issue” – Venus Williams.
By Ebor Cletus Ralph Jr.
The fact is, Venus Williams hasn’t won at Wimbledon in six years, but the five-time champion is still able to attract plenty of attention.
On the same day that the 34-year-old, won her first singles match at the All England Club since 2011, ESPN released photos of Williams in the nude, which will appear in the sixth edition of ESPN The Magazine’s Body Issue.
“It didn’t dawn on me until right when I walked on set that I would have to be without clothes,” Williams told ESPN. “If I would have thought about it before, there may have been a little less of a chance.”
During her first-round match, in which she defeated Maria Teresa Torro-Flor in three sets, former Tenis star, broadcaster and Hall of Famer Chris Evert was torn about the photos, which were displayed on the telecast.
“I have to admit, I’m kind of questionable about the whole issue, but I think Venus looked great,” Evert said.
