But a long-awaited return to play alongside her sister and teammate, Venus Williams, has sadly been canceled at the last minute.
In an Instagram post on July 4, Serena shared, "I'm heartbroken to have to withdraw from doubles. Coming back to compete again has been a gift, and the opportunity to play alongside @venuswilliams once more meant the world to me. I did everything I could to be ready, but unfortunately my knee just isn't ready to compete."
The sporting icon continued, "The good news is my knee shouldn't swell or collect that much fluid again. The bad news is that, as hard as I tried, I just wasn't able to get it ready for doubles."
