Serena Williams is such a big star that fans are in habit of collecting all her sports cards- right from the beginning of her career in the late 1990s. Interestingly, even her husband, Alexis Ohanian, has a huge collection of both her and her sister, Venus Williams’ cards.

Serena in the 2021 tennis season
Serena hasn’t had a great season so far. Even though she defeated some top-seed players at the Australian Open 2021 and managed to reach the semis, Naomi Osaka defeated her in straight sets there.

The American legend didn’t perform well in the clay-court season as she managed to win just a single match on clay before the French Open 2021. Even at Roland Garros, Elena Rybakina defeated her in the pre-quarters and thus, eliminated her.
Unfortunately, Serena couldn’t even complete a single set at the Wimbledon Championships 2021 as she injured her leg on the Centre Court. She hasn’t returned to the court ever since then.
Fans still have huge expectations from Serena Williams and want her to make an incredible comeback. Will she be able to win her 24th Grand Slam title before bidding goodbye to the sport?
