Tennis ace Serena Williams holds court at Miami Beach in a tiny bikini

Updated 20:44pm on 14 Apr 2008


After serving up yet another tournament victory in Florida, Serena Williams enjoyed a well-deserved day of sun and fun at Miami beach yesterday.

The star looked relaxed as she showed of her athletic physique in very skimpy black bikini while cooling off in the surf.

Her mood couldn't have been more different on Saturday as she battled it out on the court in a tense match against Jelena Jankovic.

She smashed her racket on the stadium court at one point during the game before recovering to defeat the fourth-seed 6-1, 5-7, 6-3.

The win claimed her fifth Sony Ericsson Open title - a tie with Steffi Graf for the most women's singles titles at Key Biscayne.

The 26-year-old was thrilled to be matching her hero's record, saying after the match: "I love Steffi Graf. She's a great champion and was my role model.

"To even be compared to her is awesome."

Williams', who was last year romantically linked to rapper Common, has long been criticised for devoting too energy on her pursuits away from the court, including fashion design.

But she insists tennis is once again her top priority.

She says with a laugh: "I wasn't making as much money, so I've got to go back to the bread and butter."

"I feel like all I want to do is play tennis."

Big hitter: the 26-year-old, who has tried her hand at fashion design, says she's returned her focus to her tennis career

She has a good body, just wish she'd worn a proper size bikini.

Your bum seems to reside between your ears Jon. Perhaps you should try boys if you don't like curves?

Personally I would prefer to look like this rather than Moss, Miller, Winehouse, Diaz etc.
