American tennis star Serena Williams has been a role model for many youngsters over the years. During her period of dominance, she has been a wonderful ambassador for tennis. Serena has ruled the WTA tour for an astonishing amount of time. 

Recently, Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian has invested in making space travel cheaper. He revealed that the firm he’s involved in, Seven Seven Six, invests in building up sustainable rockets. These promise to make a space trip as common as booking a flight.

After that, she was not seen for a considerable amount of time. Her next tournament was in Rome. However, during the entire clay season, she did not perform up to her usual standards and failed to go deep into the French Open as well. 

Unfortunately, she had to end her stint at the Wimbledon Championships after she was injured during the first set of her opening round match. She had twisted her ankle and since then has not featured in any competitive match. We hope to see her back on the Tour soon.
