Serena in the 2021 season

Fans were not able to witness the vintage Serena Williams this season. Even though her performances at the Grand Slams were quite good, she failed to win a title this year.

The 23-time Grand Slam winner began her season at the Australian Open 2021 where she beat down quite a few top-seeded players and reached the semi-finals. However, Naomi Osaka defeated her there and ended her campaign.

Then, she began her clay-court season where she couldn’t make a mark. Although she played quite well at the French Open 2021 and got eliminated in the pre-quarters, the 40-year-old couldn’t succeed at the Italian Open 2021.

Unfortunately, Williams injured her leg at the Wimbledon Championships 2021 and hasn’t returned to the court since then. There are still doubts if she will be able to return to the court this year or not.

Fans still have huge expectations from Serena Williams and want her continue playing tennis. Will she be able to win her 24th Grand Slam title before bidding goodbye to the sport?
