Serena Williams posted the above photo (r.) as her avatar on Twitter before taking it down.Serena Williams' sexy Twitter avatar has people hot and bothered for all the wrong reasons.
The tennis champ, who last week changed her icon on the social networking site to a suggestive picture of herself wearing lingerie and heels behind a see-through curtain, faced a backlash for posting such a revealing photo.
The issue wasn't 29-year-old Williams' decision to show some skin, which she has done in the past, but the decision to do so just days after her alleged stalker was arrested near her Palm Beach home.
According to TMZ.com, 40-year-old Patenema Ouedraogo had used Twitter to track her location.
One objector to the photo, sports journalist Greg Couch, wrote on his blog that he would find the picture "somewhat artistic if it weren't for the serious business of stalking women."

"What was her message anyway? What was she trying to say?" he wondered. "Just this: Look at me."
Or perhaps, he suggested, she was trying to say, "Peep at me, but don't stalk me."
Williams' motivation remains unclear, but she did pull the picture ? and retweeted a GlobalGrind post that encouraged her to put it right back up.
"Serena shouldn't have to cover up because she has a stalker," the site argued. "If she does then the stalker wins."
