American star Serena Williams has decided to skip the US Open this year. She is suffering from a torn hamstring, which has made her make the unfortunate decision. She has played less tennis this season as compared to the others.
Recently, Patrick Mouratoglou, who coaches Serena Williams put up a clip on social media of the 23-time Grand Slam champion back on the practice courts having a light knock. In the video, both were engaged in rallies and it was great to see the champion back on the courts. It is a good sign and she could have the Australian Open in her sights.

Getting there, one step at a time.” Patrick and Serena share one of the most successful partnerships in tennis. He has been in Serena’s camp for a long time and has been part of her last 10 Grand Slam victories.
