Serena’s rap record leaked online

Fans of both tennis and music have been given a sneak preview of Serena Williams's attempt to move into the world of music.

The 30-year-old recorded some songs in a Florida studio last year, and a minute-long demo has been leaked across the internet showcasing the star's rap 'skills'.

Serena's rap is an autobiographical piece that mixes the tennis player's customary feisty attitude and love of bling ("I can't see the haters through these Gucci glasses") with unexpectedly dry comedy lines that we couldn't help but smile at: "I put the track up like a frozen pizza. Beats so crazy it might blow your speakers!"

The song is genuinely by Serena, according to celebrity website TMZ.com, though the 13-times Grand Slam champion might not want to look at that site's reader poll about what they think: just 20 percent of voters so far are fans of the track.
