Going back in time, in 2020, the world was suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic. While everyone was locked down inside their homes, Venus Williams took up the initiative to start a new Instagram series. In the series, ‘#CoachVenus’, Williams took to her Instagram, putting up live videos of workouts with various sports and fitness entities. One such entity was her sister, Serena Williams.
Serena Williams doesn’t miss being on court
The Instagram live of Venus, dating back to the 13th of May, 2020, started with the two sisters conversing with each other. Talking about the workout, Venus next moved ahead, questioning Serena if she missed being on the court.
However, that wasn’t the case with Serena Williams. Replying to sister Venus, Serena started by saying, “You won’t believe this, but I’m am so so…” While fans expected that she would be missing the court, her next words took everyone to surprise. “…not missing the court.”

While a large part of viewers expressed their surprise at her answer, another part laughed off the hilarious way in which Serena said it. Also laughing out loud at Serena’s answer, Venus further said, “Wow!! You could even fake it?”
“I tried. But you know, I’m honest. I’m maybe too honest. I don’t miss it,” replied Serena. “I do miss it when I’m there. But I’m not there so I don’t miss it,” she further added.
Staying out of the tour for a couple of months, Serena made a comeback at the WTA 250 Lexington Open in August 2020, reaching the quarterfinals.
