“Capable of Everything”: WTA President Backs Serena Williams To Break Margaret Court’s All-Time Record

American tennis ace Serena Williams has been out of action since the Wimbledon Championships this year. She has not enjoyed a vintage season in 2021. Her best performance in a Grand Slam event was when she reached the semifinal of the Australian Open. 

However, Serena Williams has shown the world time and again how she can bounce back from adversity. She recently found support in WTA President, Micky Lawler. She feels that Williams has won it all and is capable of doing anything. Even if she decides to call it a day, the success she has already had is tremendous.

Serena Williams won her 23rd Grand Slam in Melbourne in 2017

It’s been a while since Serena has been chasing the record of the great Margaret Court. She is one Major shy of equalling the Australian legend. Even after this lengthy period of drought, one wouldn’t really be surprised if Williams manages to pull another rabbit out of the hat.

The chief of the WTA further added, “If she wins that last Grand Slam and equals Margaret Court’s record, it’s also historic. And this is the positive of it all. That we can’t really lose anything in any case and neither can she. It won’t surprise me if she wins, obviously.”

Coming to tennis, after retiring from the Wimbledon Championships this year, Williams skipped the US Open. It will be interesting to see what her next move will be. We hope to see her on the courts soon again.
