Serena and Wozniacki’s bond began to grow in 2011 when the latter visited Serena’s home while she was recovering from her foot surgery. Serena was at the lowest point of her career at that time, recovering from a life-threatening pulmonary embolism. Further, Williams was spotted spending time with Wozniacki when the latter went through an embarrassing public breakup with then-fiancee Rory McIlroy. Subsequently, they went on to become one of the best friendship pairs on the women’s tennis circuit.
