Notably, Serena is a three-time French Open champion; she won it for the third time back in 2015. In 2016, she failed to defend her title, losing to Spaniard Garbine Muguruza in straight sets.
Since then, the American professional has not entered the quarterfinals stage even once in Paris. Considering her decision to begin preparations a month ahead, she looks serious about improving her results on clay this year.
But before playing at any Grand Slam tournament, having enough match time is crucial. But since Serena has opted out of Madrid Open, the Italian Open seems to be the next right choice. Soon, she will confirm whether she will play in Rome or not.

What are Serena’s chances of winning the French Open?
Earlier in 2021, Serena returned to the court in Australia, promising a great season to her fans. However, after her disappointing loss to Naomi Osaka at the Australian Open 2021 semifinal, she didn’t play again.
Since she has restarted her training, it is fair to assume that she will play a tournament at the earliest. Her performances before going to Paris would play a vital role in her chances at a French Open glory. Can Williams win her long-awaited 24th Grand Slam in Paris?
