Serena Williams is taking advantage of these tennis-free weeks to recover from her knee injury after her highly anticipated return at Wimbledon, where she fell in three sets against Maya Joint and couldn't play doubles with her sister Venus. The 23-time Grand Slam champion is currently giving interviews before gearing up for the North American hard court tour, where she is expected to play in the US Open.

It is assumed that the American will receive a wild card not only for the singles draw but also for the women's and mixed doubles. Now it remains to be seen if she decides to participate in the WTA 1000 in Canada, where the organization stated they are awaiting her response, and in the WTA 1000 in Cincinnati.

These invitations to individual draws could lead her to face seeded players at the US Open, and in the WTA 1000 events if she advances past the first round. Considering these circumstances, the tennis world dreams of a match between Serena Williams and the world number one, Aryna Sabalenka, the two most charismatic players on the WTA circuit.

RARE video of Serena Williams praising Aryna Sabalenka 👀👀👀👀 " she's such a speed fire, she really gives her all when she's out there like that, I really see myself in that and I LOVE that about her" " and when she's losing she's mad, I wasn't allowed to Express my anger" pic.twitter.com/5E1uiVW0kj

Serena Williams praises Aryna Sabalenka

It would be a historic and intense duel, but most importantly, one where the screams wouldn't be missing. However, it would also be a match between two players who have a lot of respect for each other. Serena stated this at Fanatics Fest in Manhattan: "Sabalenka is number 1 and is a beast who gives it her all on the court. I see myself in her and I love that, I love that about her".

She also pointed out that the Belarusian is allowed to do something that was always denied to her: "When she loses, she gets mad, and I wasn't allowed to express my anger when I played, but I love that she is allowed to show her anger. I love it," stated the American in comments reported by Tennis 365.

Additionally, she took the opportunity to talk about her sister, partner, and rival for many years: Venus Williams. More than once, they had to face each other in a Grand Slam final, and in one of those finals, Serena couldn't even look at her sister after losing.

"I remember once I lost the Wimbledon final against her and I was furious. I couldn't even look at her. I couldn't talk. And it was very funny because then we had to play a doubles final and I was furious. I didn't say a word on the court. She is so disconnected that she didn't even notice. Years later, I found out that she didn't even know that I was mad at her," chuckled Serena, who is just weeks away from getting back into action while praising the figure of Aryna Sabalenka.
