In the Open Era of tennis, Serena is the leading Grand Slams winner among men and women. However, she is one major title behind Margaret Court’s all-time record of 24.
To equal that record, the former World No. 1 will have to play only her very best tennis ahead. And given her reputation, she will not go down without a fight.
Before traveling to Australia, Williams mentioned that her best tennis is yet to come. She also conveyed that her passion and happiness associated with the sport are still intact.
Through all this, one thing is clear; the American is up for a good time on a tennis court. Her season begins with a star-studded exhibition match in Adelaide in the coming week. Following that, Serena Williams will take on the Australian Open 2021.
