Rick Macci’s advice for Serena
Serena Williams’ former coach Rick Macci gave a piece of strong advice to his pupil. The renowned coach wants Serena to practice hard if she wants to win the US Open.
Taking to his Twitter account, Macci wrote,
@Serenawilliams needs to be practicing 24/7 if she wants to flip the script.Once she expects every shot to go in and not hope they go in then the belief goes thru the U.S. OPEN ROOF.

In her Wimbledon appearance against Harmony Tan, Serena gave a tough fight. However, she was unable to match the energy of an opponent almost half of her age. Moreover, the 23-time grand slam champion may also have to work on reducing the unforced errors that cost her crucial points.
With Serena signed up for the National Bank Open in Toronto and later Cincinnati Open, we expect to see a better and stronger Serena in the US Open.
