Vijay Amritraj talks about Serena Williams’ chances at the US Open 2022
In an exclusive interview with EssentiallySports, the former world no.18, Vijay Amritraj talked about the comeback of Serena Williams after a long injury layoff. During the interview, Amritraj said, “Coming back after a long layoff is never easy. Even for a great champion like Serena Williams, you need some matches under her belt and that’s an important aspect. The second thing is, of course, the physical ability.
