Tennis queen Serena Williams has an immense passion for Formula 1 racing. She loves the sport and even visits the track and watches the races whenever she gets the time.
Three days back, Serena Williams went to watch the F1 Monaco Grand Prix. She was the one who waved the chequered flag there, signifying the end of the race. She waved the flag at the right time and thus gained a lot of appreciation from fans.
While she was there, Serena also got the opportunity to visit the garage of her friend and legendary racing driver, Lewis Hamilton. She shot a small video there and looked quite exhilarated by the whole experience.

However, her recent form on clay has been really poor. In her three matches on clay this season, she has suffered humiliating defeats on two occasions. Surprisingly, she didn’t even succeed at the WTA Parma 2021.
Serena Williams is 39 at the moment and in such a scenario, it is tough for any player to compete with the players who are almost half of their age. In addition, she hasn’t been up to the mark on clay in the recent past. However, her fans still back her and believe that she can bounce back. Will she be able to lift the French Open 2021 title?
