The USA tennis team failed to win even a single medal at the Tokyo Olympics 2020. Surprisingly, this has happened for the first time in the last 101 years that the nation has returned home without a medal in tennis. Fans missed both Serena and Venus Williams there, as both of them have made their nation proud in the previous Olympic Games.

In a recent video, Venus Williams updated the fans about her and Serena Williams’ health conditions. She claimed that both of them are doing fine after the Wimbledon Championships 2021 and are now preparing for the US Open 2021.
