FUN IN THE SUN Serena Williams shows off her incredible beach body in a bikini as she holidays with pals

ENJOYING a much needed break from training Serena Williams looked relaxed as she enjoyed some downtime with her family.

The tennis champ is currently on holiday in the Bahamas and has been spending time soaking up some sunshine on the white, sandy beaches.

The athlete showed off her enviable figure in a peach bikini top which she teamed with bright bottom tie briefs.

Serena accessorised her two piece with a black, pink and green scarf which she tied around her neck.

Wearing her hair loose with no make-up, Serena’s relaxed look is a world away from the usually super glamourous star.

Despite being on holiday, Serena couldn’t get out of her competitive spirit and pretended to box with a friend on the sand.

Landing a deft, left hook on her opponent, it seems the 35-year-old is a champ at boxing as well as tennis.

Once the match was over, Serena took a well-earned break before making up with her friend.

Jumping into his arms, she couldn’t keep the grin from her face as her friend spun her around.

Later in the day, Serena went into the warm waters of the Caribbean sea to enjoy some water sports.

It seemed her life jacket soon became an irritant however as she later jumped into the water without it.

A friend was more than willing to give her a helping hand onto the boat too – using their hand to give her a shove back on board.

Serena’s recently been spending some of her time away from tennis with F1 champion Lewis Hamilton.

After winning his 51st Grand Prix in Mexico, Serena and Lewis were pictured holding hands as they made their way through the crowds.
