Serena Williams: 'My ass is too big to run NYC marathon'
Serena Williams wrote on Friday during a Twitter Q&A that she wouldn’t run in next year’s marathon because her “ass was too big.”
Serena Williams was recently spotted congratulating friend and fellow tennis star Caroline Wozniacki after Sunday’s New York City marathon.
But the 33-year old, who is currently ranked number 1 in the world in tennis, wrote on Friday during a Twitter Q&A that she wouldn’t run in next year’s marathon because her “ass was too big.”
Williams answered the question during #serenafriday, where she fielded a variety of questions from fans via Twitter. Someone else asked her during the event if the tennis pro was single, to which Williams replied, “not by choice.”
My ass is too big. RT “@heldermario: @serenawilliams are you thinking of running in next years New York Marathon???#serenafriday”

Williams has won 18 major titles and is the oldest world number 1 player in the history of the WTA.
