At the moment, 23-time Grand Slam winner Serena Williams is sharpening her skills with the Wimbledon Championships 2021 around the corner. However, there are some amusing activities that take place during these practice sessions at times.

Recently, when the American player was training with hitting partner Jarmere Jenkins, she hit the ball unintentionally on him. Although it was funny at sight, the force in that stroke was tremendous.
