Venus Williams and Tomas Berdych bare their ace bodies for ESPN Magazine



Tennis star Venus Williams has stripped down to pose naked for a magazine photo shoot.
The five-time Wimbledon champion also revealed intimate details about her struggles with Sjogren's syndrome, an autoimmune disorder that causes white blood cells to attack a person's moisture-producing glands.
'At my worst point, I wasn't able to play tennis at all,' the 34-year-old Florida native told
In 2012, Ms Williams and her sister Serena made history when they became the first tennis players to claim four Olympic gold medals.
The dynamic duo triumphed in women's doubles against Czech fourth seeds Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka.
But she was forced to stop playing for more than six months in 2011-12 because of her illness - and fought hard to work her way back up the rankings.
Currently, she is ranked 31st in singles play and 88th in doubles.

Tomas Berdych, ranked No. 6 in the ATP, becomes only the second ATP player to pose for The Body Issue, following in John Isner's footsteps last year
