STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON! Serena Williams Covers The New York Times Magazine & Sports Illustrated

The Serena Williams reign continues! The prominent African-American Tennis Star just nabbed the cover of two other publications, after already covering New York Mag’s August 2015 issue.

The Compton-native covers The New York Times magazine and Sports Illustrated.

Next week, the tennis champion will compete in the U.S. Open in NYC. She is competing to win a calendar Grand Slam, which would make her the first player to accomplish this since Steffi Graf in 1988.

Sixteen years after she first appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, Williams is back on the cover of the sports weekly magazine.
