Serena Williams, 28, breaks another record. After beating Venus, her older sis, at the
season-ending WTA tournament in Doha, she set the record for single-season prize money, pulling in $6.5 million in 2009. Williams broke the record of Justin Henin, who earned close to $5.5 million in 2007 and now holds the number one spot in women's tennis.--Nazenet Habtezghi

I agree I would love see the Williams sisters on the cover Essence.

Looking beautiful! I am so proud of Serena (and Venus). I love that they continue to work hard though they must have everything they could ever want at this point. I hope to see them on an Essence cover. Enough singers and actresses.
