"I have a big ass, I have big boobs," says Williams, who is 5 ft. 9 in. and listed at 135 lbs. "It's not common for athletes to have those assets. I'm never going to be a size 0." Williams admits she wasn't in top shape--and still isn't--but don't call her overweight. She prefers "bootylicious." Which makes the Aussie win even more delicious. "I've never seen anyone play...
