Extra mass and strength would account for more power. On average, who hits serves faster, men or women? Who hits baseballs farther, small guys or big guys. How about long drive champions? Hardest slap shots? I know there are exceptions, but more size and strength equates to more velocity in "swinging" sports. At a lighter weight, she would be quicker and get to more balls.
More muscle equals more strength and power, not more fat. Men are more powerful because they have more muscle than women, but elite male athletes tend to be leaner than elite women. Serena couldn't stay on the court with a top-ranked high school male player, not to mention college or pro. I don't know where you got the idea that excess fat gives you more strength and power.

High School player? You might be taking it a little bit too far there.
