Fans will be delighted with this news as Roger is currently recovering from knee surgery that had ruled him out of 2020. It will be great to see him back in action again.
Like Roger, Serena is also recovering from an injury. She had an issue with her Achilles. After pulling out of the French Open, she is yet to confirm her participation in any of the upcoming events this year. That is why her entry into the Melbourne Grand Slam is great and everyone is surely looking forward to it.

For a long time now, Roger Federer has held the record for most number of singles Grand Slam titles in men’s tennis. However, his rival Rafael Nadal has a chance to equal it at this year’s French Open. He cannot stop him, but he can take the lead in Australia next year.
On the other hand, Serena is just a Slam away from tying Margaret Court’s all-time record. She has been chasing it for years now, but it has always slipped away from her. Hopefully, we will see both Roger and Serena achieve their goals when they play in Melbourne next year.
