American tennis star Serena Williams felt her physique was not acceptable during her younger days but has learnt to appreciate it now. The 23-time Grand Slam champion felt her tennis player sister, Venus, who has a thin frame, was seen to have an acceptable figure.

"When I was growing up, what was celebrated was different. Venus looked more like what is really acceptable. She has incredibly long legs, she's thin. I didn't see people on TV that looked like me, who were thick. There wasn't positive body image. It was a different age," Serena told British fashion magazine, Vogue.
