Williams is such a big star that fans are like to collect all her sports cards – right from the beginning of her career in the late 1990s. Interestingly, even her husband, Alexis Ohanian, has a huge collection of both her and her sister, Venus Williams’ cards.

The American legend didn’t perform well in the clay-court season as she managed to win just a single match on clay before the French Open 2021. Even at Roland Garros, Elena Rybakina defeated her in the pre-quarters and thus, eliminated her.

Unfortunately, Serena couldn’t even complete a single set at the Wimbledon Championships 2021 as she injured her leg on the Center Court. She hasn’t returned to the court ever since then.
