As fans delighted in the wonderful sight, they couldn’t help but picture this duo take to the court professionally someday. However, Serena was quick to respond to Alexis’ cheeky post. She commented, “Phewwwwwwwww that’s well I wanted her to stay positive. Do as I say not as I do on the court lol.”

While many took Serena’s comments as her trolling herself, Alexis replied saying, “That’s some ‘G.O.A.T’ talk.”?

When will Serena return to court?

As much as fans love watching the Williams’ have a blast over their Instagram, they would love nothing more than to see Serena back in action, on-court. Serena’s exit from the 2021 Wimbledon Championship surely broke hearts, but also raised plenty of questions about her future from thereon.

Many speculated that it was the end for the 39-year-old, as rumors of retirement were on the rise. However, Serena’s agent bought ease to anxious fans, announcing that Serena would appear at the 2021 US Open. As she begins preparations in full swing, fans wait rather impatiently, hoping to see the American legend end her wait for another title.
