The problem started for her during the clay court season when she lost two tournaments before even reaching the quarters ahead of the French Open 2021. Although she reached the pre-quarters of Roland Garros, she failed to win against Elena Rybakina.

Unfortunately, Williams injured her leg at the Wimbledon Championships 2021 and failed to complete a single set. She had to withdraw from the middle of her first-round match and has not returned to the court since.
