Reflecting on Williams’ season so far, she began competing at the Australian Open but lost in the semifinal to eventual champion Naomi Osaka. After that, she took a brief break from the Tour and made a comeback at the WTA Rome event on clay.

However, her performances on clay were below her usual standards in the handful of tournaments she took part in. Later, at the Wimbledon Championships, she suffered an unfortunate setback as she sprained her ankle and was forced to withdraw herself from the opening round match.
