Serena Williams has not been playing much in 2019. After the Australian Open where she reached quarters, Serena competed only in Indian Wells (where she withdrew for an illness in the 3rd round), and in Miami where she retired before facing Qiang Wang in the 3rd round (knee injury).
It’s well known that the American sensation is just focussed on winning slams right now, but if she doesn’t play any competition besides the majors, it’s difficult that she will get any breakthrough if she is too rusty.
Serena is aiming at winning her 24th slam at the French Open and for this reason, she couldn’t miss the Premier even in Rome that she won in 4 occasions (2002, 2013, 2014, and 2016).
Williams is already in Italy where she is getting ready to compete.
From the red carpet to the red clay… always fabulous! 👠👟 #ibi19 #tennis #WTA @serenawilliams @WTA pic.twitter.com/trBcLOYAVc
