The tennis superstars don 𝓈ℯ𝓍y one-shoulder one-pieces for the magazine’s Legacy Issue and talk about life after future retirement in the accompanying interview.

Venus said: ‘From such a young age, all we’ve done is work. So I think for Serena and I to explore that freedom is surreal. We’ve never been free.’

She jokingly elaborated on their plans after they eventually retire from tennis.

Venus told the magazine, ‘Serena and I say we’re going to become body builders after tennis. It might be extreme. It might not happen exactly like that, but you never know.’

Meanwhile, Serena explained that contemplating her legacy does not factor in to her daily life.

‘That’s something I don’t think about nor do I want,’ she said. ‘I don’t want to think about what I’m leaving. I just think about who I am every single day behind closed doors and behind cameras. And that’s what I focus on.’

Venus was also reticent to discuss the impact of her legacy, saying, ‘I’m so inspired by other changemakers too.

‘I absolutely love design. I love mentoring. I love passing on what I know.’

While both sisters have achieved remarkable feats in their long careers, Venus was quick to heap praise on her sister, mentioning Serena’s 23 Grand Slam titles.

‘Serena is the one with all the trophies,’ she told Harper’s, despite herself having been crowned a Grand Slam champion seven times.
