Last year, Serena reached the fourth round, where she lost to Elena Rybakina. Even at Wimbledon, Serena was unfortunate as she slipped on center court during her first-round matchup against Aliaksandra Sasnovich. Serena could no longer continue to play after the fall and was forced to retire.
In what can be considered a final leg for Serena Williams on the WTA tour, the 23-time Grand Slam champion will try to enjoy the sport by playing as many tournaments as possible and look to bag a few titles in her name.
