Serena Williams looks in great spirits as she confidently shimmies down the beach in a mismatched bikini.

The the 29-year-old Wimbledon tennis champion put on a little dance as she relaxed with friends in Miami today. However, she came close to a double fault as her strapless bikini top clearly struggled to contain her ample bosom.

Williams has been recuperating in Miami following emergency surgery two months ago; an operation to remove a blood clot 'the size of a grapefruit' found in her lung in February. She developed a haematoma from a pulmonary embolism, stemming from an incident when she cut her foot on broken glass in a Munich restaurant last July.

She admitted to being very down recently, having being sidelined from her sport since claiming her 13th Grand Slam title at Wimbledon last July. "I definitely have not been happy," she said. "Especially when I had that second (foot) surgery, I was definitely depressed. I cried all the time. I was miserable to be around."

Williams, who has slipped to world number 11 in her absence from the WTA Tour, is unlikely to return before the summer and admitted that the time spent on the sidelines had taken an emotional toll. A part of her lung had 'died' from the pulmonary embolism and she has remained on blood-thinning medication. While she hasn't been able to play tennis, she has managed to keep up with her lucrative sponsorship contracts.

A television advertisement featuring her curvy figure was recently released to promote Top Spin 4, a tennis game made for the Wii console. However, it is unlikely to be seen by many as the game's maker 2K Sports rejected it because it was deemed too raunchy.
