Tennis champ Serena Williams is single and ready for love.

Despite pulling out of the U.S. Open tournament due to an injured right foot and ending her two-year relationship with rapper and actor Common in April, Williams is in the market for Mr. Right.

So what should a guy do to date the top-ranked women’s tennis player in the world?

“Call me! It’s that easy. Just pick up the phone and call me!” Williams, 28, told PEOPLE.

More importantly, Williams wants to date a man with strong family values.

“I’m looking for a guy who is close to his parents – his mom mostly because you can learn a lot about a guy by the way he treats his mom,” she says. “And someone who loves themselves because if they take care of themselves, they are able to take care of you.”

As for dating deal-breakers, the tennis ace reveals she’s not keen on bad habits.

“I don’t like smokers, and of course people who disrespect their parents and families. Family is very important to me.”

Although Williams describes herself as “rough and tough” on the tennis court, off the court she insists men shouldn’t find her threatening.

When people meet me, I’m different in person,” she says. “I’m very nice and easy going.”  SOURCE

    She don’t look the same with that nose job. She looks like a SELL OUT!!!!

    I think Serena is a good woman. She flaunts her stuff so some people might not like her, but she has it, so she can flaunt it. Hopefully she will find a good man.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SenorCafeDa2nd/ SenorCafeDa2nd

    What was her deal breaker when she was dating that short hairy white man Brett Ratner, the director of the “Rush Hour” series. I guess she has a different set of standards for black men and white men.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/odoggz/ odoggz

    @SenorCafeDa2nd
    LMAOOOO You’re spot on there! Good brothers have to jump through hoops, while n1ggas, playas, thugs and white men get the easy pass.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Clapton57/ Clapton57

    I wouldn’t wait by the phone Serena cause ain’t too many Black dudes that want to sleep with another dude but I can understand you wanting to try to stay out there. What Common ever saw in you I’ll never know but now that you’re implying that the brother is not loyal to his family in Chicago I’m sure your ugly butt can never get him back either. Being nasty because our man finally woke up and decided he’d rather sleep with a real woman instead of another muggy dude was his right. Don’t put him and his ways toward his family out there because you know ya ain’t never gonna get anybody in his league again. Take your butt back to white dudes and shut the hell up cause we’re sick of hearing about your love life drama and needs.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Drain_Man_901/ Drain_Man_901

    oh, and she forgot to mention he has to be white.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/The-Chocolate-Man/ The-Chocolate-Man

    U all haters can beat up yourself. Serina deserve respect and credit as a black woman! U can call her ugly, or u can call her what u wanna call her. The bottom line is this. She worked her ass of to be at the top of her game. Do u-all think she used a magic wand to get there. I do beleive she is visually refreshing/physically sensual, and the kind of woman who needs a real man, not just a male who never graduated to becoming a man. A real man with whom she can cultivate substabce/depth with and he must be able to bring out the best in her. Plus she want a man who is independent, one who is not a pimp to be living off her money. Serina nuff rerspect to you boo! Maintain your standard and let haters go kick a rock. Even with typos i doi beleive u-all haters can coimprehend where i am coming from. Serina is sexy/desirable to me. Skinny and barbie dool lookin women turn me off. Some say she in a in the closet lesbian? Or she is bi? On the other hand, which ever way? Apart from the to love/be loved! I do beleive u have to be 100% Man to pleasure Serina sensually/sexcutingly!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/The-Chocolate-Man/ The-Chocolate-Man

    I THINK SERINA IS VISUALLY/PHYSICALLY SEXY! PLUS HER ACHEIVEMENTS AS THe #1 RANKED PLAYER ON THE PLANET MAKES HER RARE. THE WOMAN DESERVE RESPECT.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/hershekisses4u/ hershekisses4u

    i find it funny how easily some are quick to point how she dated white men but the minute black women (not me because i could care less) point out a black man dating white women, black women are perceived as being hateful. lol.. Anyways i think that she is just talking about what her deal breakers are, doesn’t mean that Common for one didnt meet any of them. Two people can get along great and seem good for each other, doesn’t mean they are meant to be. Just because she dated a short white man doesn’t mean he was any less of a nice guy then Common. No one knows what her standards are therefore how can one say she has different standards for black and white men? Yeah ok.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MRS_JESSICA_RABBIT/ MRS_JESSICA_RABBIT

    lol@some of these post..why she gotta be talking about common?..

    I can totally agree with her on everything she said….most of the time when both in a relationship are busy, work a lot, travel ect…communication is all you have so a phone call weighs more than what it should when u barely see each other….if you are more relaxed and work a reg 8 hours a day then the “phone call argument” is often viewed as petty or “not that serious” …..as a busy person i understand no matter how “busy” you are we in life we make time for what we wanna make time for….so if you cant take 30sec to 2min out of your day to call….that’s a prob period….as far as her dating white men…that has been justified….as a kid she wasn’t attractive so black men wouldn’t give her chance ….i mean i still think handsome…but she a household name so now she has fans admirers ect not to mention a stylist make up and decent clothes …so what if anybody dates another race….she didnt put down blacks she just didnt prefer them for a while because of history with them…lol@the good brotha comment….its funny how most “good brothas”….are everything except attractive or successful in most cases…..hilarious…..the moment a “good brotha” strike rich you go get a rican or white chick cause u think all blk chicks want is money….wheres the logic?….women of all backgrounds want a man who can provide and be a “MAN” not these new 2010 divos (male divas) who hollering “independent women” more than the chicks…lawdamercy

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MisterUnderstood425/ MisterUnderstood425

    Lol @ some of these posts, but I’m with AfricanSpeech on this one.
    Send me the digits and I got you. I don’t think Common would be willing to share those all too quick. Lol.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kaikai7/ kaikai7

    I wouldn’t just any ole person to pick up the phone and call,lol but I would agree that a man who doe snot respect his family , and mom in particular probably won’t have much respect for you. My deal breakers while dating are inconsideration, disrespect(blatant or subliminal), and being a male wh*re!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Paneiro1/ Paneiro1

    I disagree with the theory about how much you can tell about a guy by how he treats his mother. I know dudes that have great relationships with moms but treat women like trash.

    Also some mothers are psychopaths and no one gets along with them in the family including the sons. Doesn’t mean he won’t treat a woman right, he may be lookin for a woman to start that family he didn’t have growing up.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/NOWHITEIN/ NOWHITEIN

    GIVE ME YOUR NUMBER SERENA! I WILL CALL YOU!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sponlicious/ sponlicious

    come & holla at me serena! give me yo number & i will most definitely call u baby

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/odoggz/ odoggz

    @Paneiro1
    I agree. The ego, of these chicks today, is they think they’re on a level of respect, like you’d place on your moms, or other respectable women, of your family. They don’t even compare, so to think they will get treated like royalty because a dude loves his mom, well that’s just dumb woman-logic, that doesn’t add up.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Black_Hazes/ Black_Hazes

    I agree with paneiro. I have a male friend whose childhood wasn’t all that great with neither one of his parents (mom is immature to say the least; dad is a pastor who is pissed off at the fact that my friend, his firstborn son, wasn’t born a girl). As a result, he is really picky about the type of women he chooses to date.

    As a side note, I can’t help but notice the amount of hypocrisy coming from some of the men that posted on this article. I just got done reading all of the comments on the ‘Brian White’ article, and almost every single man on there was saying that ‘love is blind’ or that ‘love has no color.’ Some would even go as far as to bashing black women(funny how a person, regardless of gender, always have to put down his/her own race to justify their interracial dating tendencies).

    If that’s the case, why are you bashing this woman just because she dated a white guy?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jazzwatch/ jazzwatch

    Serena, I will call for a date, too…hope it’s not to a Mc Donalds in California…….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jazzwatch/ jazzwatch

    I also agree with Ooggz about the love the mother thing….MY mom was the GREATEST person I will ever know: smart, intelligent, a great cook, talented(can sing, play piano, do hair, did house repair) and is BEAUTIFUL, perhaps a H-O-T-T-I-E in HER day, and she gave me UNCONDITIONAL LOVE…now how man ladies in MY life will do the same when I want to give that love?………I thought so…..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/2good2bsingle/ 2good2bsingle

    Once again, I fully agree with ODoggz!! :-)

    To ME – Serena sounds JUST AS SHALLOW as 99.99% of the ‘Women’ here on the Internet. SMH.. ;-)

    “dad is a pastor who is pissed off at the fact that my friend, his firstborn son, wasn’t born a girl”

    That’s because he was hoping for a girl that he can molest later.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Black_Hazes/ Black_Hazes

    @knowbody

    Haha, no. Both sides of my family is like that also. They prefer girls over boys. The girls are usually the ones who have their stuff together as well, while the boys tend to be the rebels. Maybe it’s a west indian thing.

    I guess this could be a rebuttal to paneiro’s statement in another article in which he claimed that people are afraid to have girls for some ridiculous reason he listed (paraphrasing here, I can’t remember what exactly he said. Something about girls supposedly being liars, complainers, etc.).

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Knowbody75/ Knowbody75

    I don’t know, all of Serena’s relationships were with other celebs who live in different states and have different cereers. That is very difficult to sustain.

    jazzwatch – The woman of your dreams is looking for a date! I hope its you! lmao

    Alphamanec – Exactly! Its nice to know some men like feminine looking women. But I know lots that are attracted to women that look like men which brings me to the next question “Could he be gay?”

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/digg_it_up/ digg_it_up

    if a guy loves his mom a lot he is a mommas boy…good luck on gettin him to take yo azz serious or get any quality attention…if his momma sick and is sorounded by a 100 family members half the planet away he go get up in the middle of the night and leave yo azz to go halfway cross the planet to see his mom who is just having diarhea…..

    I wish her all the best. She has worked hard to reach the top and she did. I’m sure she could care less about haters and what they think about her and who she is dating. Serena, you go girl.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/duncan69/ duncan69

    just shut the f**k up and play with the little green balls and worry about other balls later,her momma and daddy went through some ugly shyt awhile back,and asked if the marriage was that bad then why didnt you end it sooner and her momma stated its good to keep a piece of a man around then no man at all.so thats how her fat azz momma thinks about her daddy and you clown azz sistas cant figure out why ur alone!!!!!!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Kashi101/ Kashi101

    i can bet odoggz has hoed around soooo much in his life, he’s lost all respect for women. as a result, doesnt even like women anymore. this is a revelation sweeping through our black communities. women aren’t the only ones suffering from mental and emotional breakdowns after abusing sex

    men felt the same way about your mama odoggz that you say you love & respect. every woman you dogg out/disrespect/use/throw away is somebody’s sister, daughter, niece, cousin and probably a mother herself

    i would suggest counseling/therapy/Jesus to aid you in overcoming your issues stemming years of emotional and sexual abuse and misuse

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DXPeace/ DXPeace

    I think her philosophy of how a man treats his mother being a sign of how he will take care of her is adopted.
    I think that the media is out of order for posting her availability all over the web.
    And finally, all other women I know are on hold until I find out if Serena and I are compatible.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jazzwatch/ jazzwatch

    Serena, you availible H-O-T-T-I-E, my number is 777-9311-oops! That’s from the old Morris Day record-my bad……

    i feel you dig_ it_ up …yeah..they want a man who loves his mother..until his moma looks her ass up and down cause she can sense a where females “comin from” and tells him dont mess wit you…then he a “MOMA’S boy” for taking moms advised.
    A female will NEVER be on momas level so they can get that crap out of they head and stop saying this garbage..,moms can take one look at a female and see s**t in her that we cant..got our back no matter what…smell her a mile away when she got an agenda on you. no women can replace that.

    duncan69, all of that was un-called for. The comment Serena’s momma said about a “piece of man…” has no bearing what-so-ever on why some black women aren’t in a relationship. Men like you are the reason!

    I’m looking for a guy who is close to his parents – his mom mostly because you can learn a lot about a guy by the way he treats his mom,” she says.

    One of the biggest lies ever perpetrated on black single women. We’re talking apples and oranges…there is a difference between how you treat your mom and a perspective mate. Furthermore, if a brutha treats his mom well, his mom won’t welcome to a 3rd party woman cutting in on her son catering to her every need. Where do women get this stuff?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Her_shez_Kissez21/ Her_shez_Kissez21

    @ simsjohn… I might be young… but I’d agree with you.
    Sending money home to the parents is cool. But there shouldn’t be the attachment where you allow your parents to get involved with the development of your own relationship with another person. That enforces expectations and you should only live up to your own.

    5. All these Mack Daddy/manw***e/badboy posts keep ANY woman on here from responding to you.
