However, her recent form on clay has been really poor. In her three matches on clay this season, she has suffered humiliating defeats on two occasions. Surprisingly, she didn’t even succeed at the WTA Parma 2021.
Serena Williams is 39 at the moment and in such a scenario, it is tough for any player to compete with the players who are almost half of their age. In addition, she hasn’t been up to the mark on clay in the recent past. However, her fans still back her and believe that she can bounce back. Will she be able to lift the French Open 2021 title?
