Keeping up with Serena Williams and her career has become a part of our daily lives. She not only excelled beyond anyone else’s expectations, but has also established a brand-new standard for generations to come. However, things haven’t gone her way as expected in this year’s US Open.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion started the tournament on a high by winning against Danka Kovinic and Anett Kontaveit in the first two rounds. But come the third round, she eventually went down to Ajla Tomljanovic of Australia with a score of 5-7, 7-6, 1-6. Recently, Hollywood star Jamie Foxx shared an adorable video of Serena Williams and thanked her.

This particular video was in reference to the video back in 2003, when actor Jamie Foxx was hosting the ESPY awards. At that time, Serena Williams was a rising star, and he had sung a song for her.

Is there a chance of a comeback?

Most recently, Serena made an appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show. She was asked by Fallon if she could pull a Tom Brady during their conversation. In response, Serena didn’t talk much about herself and laughed it off by saying that Brady started an amazing trend. Notably, Brady reversed his retirement from the NFL after the previous season and is now preparing for the upcoming season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
