At SW19 where Serena’s hopes were high, she had to retire during her first-round match against Aliaksandra Sasnovich after an unfortunate slip on Center court. Since then, Serena wasn’t seen on a tennis court.
After pulling out from this year’s US Open, fans were hoping to catch the American playing the Australian Open next year. But, she released a statement few days ago stating her decision to pull out of the grand slam event.
At the moment, it’s unclear when Serena Williams will make a comeback on the WTA tour next year.
