Tracing these covers back to the decision makers and their thought processes is always an interesting task. -nml Good points Ken!

And I don't disagree that Serena's cover--which deemphasizes her athletic build--does contribute to that. But I am almost certain that this shoot was done well before the US Open. And it's not surprising. Serena engages frequently in such apologetic behavior even when she has not done something as publicly egregious as her US Open outburtst. She is one of the many women on the tour that has bought into the sex sells model of women's tennis. I would be interested to know when the cover decision was made, though. Whether she was also going to be one of the covers or whether that decision was made, and by whom and for what reasons, after the US Open.
