There is no denying that the tennis community sorely misses Serena Williams‘ dazzling performances on the court after her retirement in the 2022 season. But now that she recently picked up her racket once again, the 23-time singles Grand Slam champion decided to play with fans’ feelings with her latest ‘tennis ball’ transition video on social media.

In her latest TikTok video, the American tennis icon was sighted making a return to the court as she opened up about ‘working’ on her serves. After the tennis serve toss, the ball got switched to a skin tint, as the ‘Queen of the Court’ was seen holding the cosmetic product in her hand. Williams also added the caption, “Hey ya’ll! I was working on my serve yesterday and this happened! I guess I traded in my tennis ball for my skin tint lol.”

This is not the first time that the American tennis legend has decided to tease fans with such a unique transition video on social media. A few months after bidding adieu to tennis, Williams previously came up with the idea of a ‘tennis balls’ transition video.
