Tennis superstar Serena Williams on Tuesday proved that her power was beyond the court as she shared a behind-the-scenes photo of her shoot with New York magazine.

Williams posted on Instagram a picture of her doing a full split on two parallel bars using only one hand for balance.

“Still working on that toe point,” she said in the caption.

New York magazine shared another photo of the shoot, where the 33-year-old champion was seen more composed as she was suspended on the bars, this time with both hands put down.

“@serenawilliams looks absolutely incredible in these#NormanJeanRoyphotos from our cover story! Her 16-year run is, in the words of Sports Illustrated, ‘one of the most sustained careers of excellence in the history of athletics.’ She is on top of the world, a serious contender for the greatest athlete of her generation, and is the cover star of our fall fashion issue,” the caption read.

Williams has won her fourth consecutive Grand Slam at the Wimbledon, and will get a chance to sweep the 2015 Grand Slams when the US Open kicks off on Aug. 31.
