Hi Serena, Congratulations on being number 1 again. I know that you have been working very hard to achieve that goal. It has to be the greatest feeling in the world to know that you have made it happened. I don’t even know how you can top this amazing year u have been having but I’m sure that you will find a way to do it. Thanks again for always taking the time to answer emails & reply to my tweets on twitter. Take care

I just read your statement Serena, and I am extremely glad to know that you do read the comments posted! Keep up the fantastic work that you and Venus have been doing. We are very proud of the effort you guys put in. Michael Jackson said in an interview once, that the key to his great success was staying humble and loving people and loving what he does. So, continue in the fight on and off court.

I LOVE YOU, KEEPDOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

Hey Serena, how are you doing, congratulations on your match for the number 1 spot you belong there, but I would like to know, how can I see your matches from China on cable. I'll be looking for the next U.S. Open in Queens next year, I enjoy watching Venus play, especially in doubles. hope to hear from you and take care

Serena u are so dedicated in everything u do....and that leaves me a great impression, u always inspire me and i have to say u are a part of my life...seriously u have a great influence on me and actually make stronger....maybe it sounds a little crazy i know....i am actually trully madly deeply in love with u.....just like u i am a very passionate person an idealist always looking to improve....but at the same time vulnerable like any human being with lots of emotions...with love your biggest fan from Romania, Chris

Congratulations Serena, I hope you are reading our comments. Now i feel like my dedication to the world's #1 is not invein. I read your book it was wonderful. Now I need to know if you will be coming to Mississippi or close to Miss. So I can get it signed. Keep on driving the rest of the tennis field CRAZY except for Vee. Love ya! Keep up the good work

HEY SERENA!!!! CONGRATULATION!!! WE ARE VERY PROUD OF YOU BECOMING NO.1 AGAIN. OUR PRAYERS AND LOVE FOR YOU HAS BEEN ANSWER. WE SUPPORT YOU AND WISH YOU GREAT SUCCESS IN THE CHINA OPEN. IT'S SO NOT GOOD YOU HAD TO GO TO CHINA TO GET THIS BACK AND NOT AT HOME. LEARNING TO MOVE-ON IS SOMETHING AMERICA HAS TO LEARN AND NOT USE THE PAST AND NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES TO ATTACK EACH OTHER. BEING A HUMAN BEING, WE LEARN TO FORGIVE AND UNDERSTAND ONE ANOTHER.

ur words means the world to me, thanks for being such an inspiration for me.

Congratulations again Serena. You are such an inspiration.

SJW, Congratulaions YOUR AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! RENNIS1

Hi Serena I am glad to see you at the top of the list again. It has been a hectic season this year, especially when you were having those health issues that made you lose your #1 spot. But now you are back on top again where you belong. Also I am glad it was Shuai Zhang that beat Dinara so China wouldn't feel so disappointed with her, that wasn't a very nice thing to say about her; so thank you Shuai Zhang for winning that match for us. ;-)

Hey Rena! I am glad that you're doing great....I did watch you on HSN that night, but was unable to purchase anything...I also watched the Dolphins game this past Sunday and that was just to support you and Vee. I'm a Giants fan, but because of you and Vee, i will have to support the Dolphins from now on. I hope you have a wonderful week.... Love you and really do!!!!! Ketie

HEY EVERYONE! SERENA IS ON THE COVER OF ESPN MAGAZINE AND SHE LOOOOOOKS HOT... LOOK OUT RENA... I JUST READ ABOUT IT. I THINK YOU LOOK HOT. RENA, AS FAR AS YOUR THIGHS, THEY ARE NOT TOO BIG AND YOUR ARMS ARE NOT THAT MUSCULAR. YOU ARE DROP DEAD GORGEOUS.. MEN LOVE YOU AND WOMEN LOVE YOU AS WELL... :-)

Hey Serena...it's great to see you back where you belong...#1. You are a very important woman figure to me, you always have a fighting spirit that makes you so awesome. It's nice to know that you are human & have dreams like the rest of us. Take care & can't wait to finish reading your book!

does your dedication include anger management. your rage is still remembered and your words, "i swear to god, i'm *** going to take this *** ball and shove it down your *** throat, you hear that? i swear to god.” … will be remembered girl. and, that photo of you naked on the espn cover … how can a jw do something like that? or maybe you no longer are? so, your dedication … is that to becoming a marilyn monroe? your mom must be proud … we aren’t

Linda Thomas, U really need to find something better to do! Rude b$@*h...If you're not a fan and if u dnt have something positive to say then you shouldnt even leave a comment...Get a life trick...Everybody makes gets mad and loses it sometimes...Just because Serena ia a big star and a tennis icon doesnt make her perfect. She just has to learn frm this and move on which she has. Anywayz I love u serena and keep up the good work! Make sure you stay at #1 for a while!:) Congrats

loved your modeling/tennis playing on tyra banks show very sexy you are the prettiest girl in the world dave gott ps oh yezzz you did become number one too ha ha i almost forgot..just blame the testosterone in me

Congratulations from El Salvador, Central America, I am 58 years old and I like to go to Tennis Tournaments I saw you this year in Palm Springs, It is hard from Central America but sometimes we have offers. I like the way you play since you you were a little girl. I do not like when you have bad manners on court But we all are humans. A big hug for you. delmy rodriguez

Too bad you lost to Nadia. I didn't watch it but it seemed like you fought. Take a break. Improve your game and win the Tour Championships. Stay focused and use all your incredible talents.

Great! Serena you were always the TRUE #1. So good that now the WTA rules fit to that matter of fact. Now women tennis makes sense, with a 11-times Grand Slam winner on top of the game!!

Hi Serena, Well done on becoming No. ! again, you really deserved it. Your comments after your loss to Petrova and your court beaviour in general make you a truly great ambassador for the sport. We need more like you and your sister Venus.Keep up the good work. Roger Davies, Cayman Islands.

Hi Serena; You look fantastic on the cover of ESPN magazine. It's about time for us to be proud of our beauty and color. Serena you did not disappoint us. I love it; Go girl!!!. Remember to focus on the positive and try to block out the negative...because who has the right to judge...we all have sin... Continue to enjoy your life; but I am believing God that you win many many more grand slams. God be with you always.

Hi Serena, I am so proud of you. I knew you would be number 1 again. I didn't get ESPN The Magazine yet, but I plan to get it. I saw your photos on TV, and I think they are beautiful. Keep up the good work.

Hi Serena, I think you are one of the world's best sport I-con; along with our own Usain Bolt. I always admire your strength and determination and always wanted to be your friend. I only hope that you will accept me as a friend, even though I am a simple Jamaican man. Just continue to be the person you are, because you are special.

Comment bylydia Lindquist “Right now, there are perverted men and women, masturbating as they view her that photo. Believe it. That's why you said that. This is exactly why those who care about her is working with her. Little nasties.” This one http://www.celebpulp.com/serena-williams-gets-buck-naked-for-espn/ or this one http://www.inquisitr.com/15074/serena-williams-h-magazine-pics-gravity-is-a-problem/ or this one http://bit.ly/gq6wD or these http://www.womenstennisblog.com/2008/11/01/serena-williams-celebrating-halloween/ http://www.downthelinetennis.com/2008/11/serena-plays-cardigan-wearing-panty.html

From 13 year old Josh Dhani at the Bleacher Report “It’s outrageous I tell you, outrageous! It just isn’t right! What good comes out of random people all of the world looking at naked pictures of star athletes. It’s pretty much a porn section on ESPN for guys who are high on drugs being happy after each picture.” http://bleacherreport.com/articles/269738-what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-the-espn-body-issue

Hi Serena Williams; First of all, let me express my profound gratitude to you for accepting my personality to be one of your fans. Indeed, I feel very delighted to be identified with you. You know, what prompted me to seek joining your esteemed fans is your perfomance and track records and predegree in your chosen carreer. You know, Iam a very disciplined guy, and this quality has really helped me in my carreer as a military officer. I really love people with passion for success, dedication and motivation. I have taken time to study and follow your progress. And I have discovered that, there must be something in your life that makes you and your sis Venus to stand out in all your chosen field of endeavour. This underscores the reason why I feel inspired any time I watch you babes play. Infact, I have a lot to say and much more inspiration to draw from you. But right now permit to tell you that, What fascinates me more is your 'exortic beauty' which you have not allowed to affect your gallantry performance in tennis...Laughs!! The best so far is the latest trophy you just worn as the Current NO 1 in the just conclude China grand slam. It is on this note "I CONGRATULATE YOU AND FEEL REAL PROUD TO TELL YOU THAT; YOU ARE INDEED A WORLD SUPER STAR"!!!

Serena, I have no word to express the shock , the disappointment and the disgust I am still felling since I watch on the internet the naked picture of you on the ESPN magazine cover. I should have sticked to the title of the article but I couldn't believe that someone who was consider a model for so many young people would do such an abomination. So you have no respect for your body, for your God and for his word. I am afraid that for that picture you will have to suffer terrible pains and torments. You are now a shame for a lot of people. One question still linger in my mind? why would you do such a thing?

Hey Serena, so glad your number 1 again where you belong. I watched the match and was biting my nails during match point lol, but i knew you would pull it out and i'm all the hard work paid off. much love, ~sharky

Posing nude is a shame, a perversion, a destruction of you personal dignity as a woman and a person. You are stripping yourself from all possible respect. That is leaving the level of civilized people to become like an animal. Is that the example you are showing to our younger sisters who were looking at you as a model? What message do you want to tell them?

Hi Serena, Congrats on being No 1 again. You continue to inspire me everyday, keep up the good work. I like the fact that yu are such a fan gal and seem to really enjoy your life in and out of the picth. LOL

GLAD DA DOLPHINS WON LAST NITE. DAT WAZ A VERY GUD GAME. STILL WAITIN ON U 2 SEND ME A FRIEND REQUEST ON MYSPACE, PLEAZE. GOD BLESS U :} LUV YA, B.J.

You make this world a whole lot better, god bless Richard, your Mom, and Venus, (sorry I get a bit carried away) just luv ya

#1.. enuff said! Love your ESPN cover. U r so freaking hot. Not understandng all the hate but hey, haters make u greater so keep doing whatcha do! Luv ya bunches!!

Hey Serena, my sister-in-law and I are always arguing about you. I want to be be #1 forever and she says that you are not thinking about any of that. I say she needs to win more tornaments so that you can get out ahead of safina in points and cruise along. She still says that you aren't thinking about that. Which one of use is right? I'm tired of arguing with her because she I both think we know everything about you. Keep up the good work. Redd

hey serena, I actually just have a question. I've heard a lot throughout your career that you and your family are Jehovah's Witnesses. If you are a Jehovah's Witness, how was it possible for you to pose nude for the ESPN cover? Just wondering.

Love it!!!
