Tennis stars Serena and Venus Williams are featured among the 10 covers released this week as part of ESPN The Magazine’s 10th Anniversary special edition issues.

Serena and Venus join other famous athletes like LeBron James, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Alex Rodriguez and Vince Young as those stars featured.

"We're both really excited to be on one of the 10 covers," Serena told wtatour.com. "I think we owe so much of our success to each other. I mean Venus was the first African American to become world No.1 and all her successes motivated me to be the best."
