All eyes in tennis are on the 2020 French Open, which is the last Major of 2020. Fans have had to be satisfied with a makeshift season this year. But soon, they will be watching the 2021 Australian Open, and two amazing players have already confirmed their entry – Roger Federer and Serena Williams.
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.

Roger Federer and Serena Williams are both 39 years old and still playing competitive tennis. As amazing as that is it will make some people wonder, why are they continuing at this age? They need not look beyond the Grand Slam records.
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.
