As always, Williams' new, trimmed and toned body attracted observations from fans and followers, and praises from her loved ones like Lala, who declared, "Always preparing for summer."

Another commenter noted that she looked a lot "bigger when playing tennis," while one more Instagram user stated that they are not a fan of the athlete's new size.

"Tennis is a great workout," a fourth commenter added, as another user stated that Williams' new post was inspired by Drake's recent picture, also flaunting his "abs." For context, the athlete and the rapper were once rumored flings.

This fan referenced the tennis legend's struggle to fit into a particular Valentino skirt last year, and affirmed that the skirt (misspelled as "Prada") has probably gotten "too big" for her now.

The 43-year-old smashed a major goal at the close of 2024 by fitting into a skirt she purchased when she was pregnant with her second child in 2023.

As stated by PEOPLE, Williams welcomed her baby, Adira River, in August 2023 and made it her New Year's resolution to make her Valentino skirt fit her frame. She decided to do a big reveal before stepping into 2025 with her Instagram followers, saying:

I have an audience today for this big moment of will it or will it not fit.

After a few stretches and adjustments to the denim skirt, she finally arrived at her destination and received the verdict: yes, the skirt did fit. The athlete noted that if she were just an ounce bigger, it wouldn't have worked.

Serena Williams Is All About Longevity Since Quitting Tennis

The mother-of-two explained during an interview with USA Today that she has adopted a very obsessively healthy approach to life since bowing out of the tennis court.

She noted that one of the ways she achieved that was ditching the idea of getting on any form of diet since she tends to gain weight instead of losing it.

The star also acknowledged that people achieve healthy living in multiple ways, and everyone needs to find what works for them. In line with this stance, the athlete and her husband, Alexis Ohanian, have adopted the Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) trend to monitor their glucose levels.

Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) are small sensors inserted under the skin of the arm, providing real-time data on blood sugar levels directly to a smartphone. 

They are typically worn for one to two weeks to serve as a vital tool for individuals with diabetes, and they can also connect with insulin pumps for enhanced management of blood sugar.

Williams shared that since welcoming her kids alongside Ohanian, she has gotten on the journey towards achieving longevity. In her words: 

“Longevity is something that we have to work at…I'm in that journey in my life where I want to work at that, and I want to create the best scenario I can for that.”

Way to go, Serena Williams! Look at those abs!
