Serena Williams, 23 time Grandslam champion and one of the most influential names in the tennis world is all set to feature as the cover star of the British Vogue’s November edition. This is finally some good news for Serena’s fans as the American had to withdraw from the French Open 2020 owing to Achilles pain. Serena has struggled on the tour over the past couple of years losing out in the latter stages of Grandslam tournaments. Her last major came at Wimbledon 2016 and she has struggled to lay her hands on her 24th major title ever since.

British Vogue is a British Fashion magazine based in London since 1916. It is the British edition of the American edition of Vogue and is currently owned and distributed by Condé Nast.

Considering the legacy of the magazine and regarded by many as the fashion bible, it is indeed a matter of prestige for Serena Williams to be the cover star.
