Williams Voted Most Popular Female Sports Star

She has  barely played in the past year, but that hasn’t prevented Serena Williams being  voted as the most popular female sports star in a Harris interactive poll among  American sports fans. The poll was taken in June, at about the time Serena took  to the match court for the first time in 11 months.

Two more ‘inactive’  tennis players made the top 10, with Anna Kournikova coming in at number six and  Martina Navratilova at seven. Two more tennis players made the list, making five  of the 10. Venus Williams was second and Maria Sharapova fourth.
