Serena’s 24th Grand Slam Title Quest Begins against Sasnovich
Serena Williams will begin her latest quest for a 24th Grand Slam title by meeting the world No 100 Aliaksandra Sasnovich in the first round of the 2021 Wimbledon Championships.
One opponent that Williams will not face in her bid to create history in SW19, will
be the athlete who beat her to the title in 2019 – Simona Halep.
The Romanian, who tore her left calf muscle during a match in Rome in May, announced directly before the draw took place that she is not fit and cannot compete at this year’s Wimbledon Championships.
If Williams prevails over Sasnovich and her second-round opponent too, then she will potentially meet Angelique Kerber, who she lost to in the 2018 final.
