Serena Williams has shown that age is never a limit. At 40, the former world number one won a game again. The last win was on June 4, 2021 against Danielle Collins for the third round of Roland Garros. Finally, two days after that victory, she would be eliminated from the tournament against Kazakhstan Yelena Rybákina.
Today, 430 days after the last victory, beat Nuria Párrizas 6-3, 6-4, in 1 hour and 57 minutes to advance to the second round of the WTA 1000 in Toronto. Between Belinda Bencic and Tereza Martincova, who face off this Tuesday, Serena’s rival will go out in the second round of the tournament.
The flashes he left in his victory against Párrizas
Currently, Williams is in 407th place in the rankings, but that doesn’t stop him from continuing to show signs of his quality and talent. She has 23 Grand Slam titles on her back and will be looking to match Margaret Court, who has won 24 titles and is the biggest winner in history.
The mobility of Serena Williams is not what it was a few years ago, but her quality and mentality remain intact. Logically, it will be difficult for him to compete against younger rivals who will try to beat the legend in business in any way. Yet the wind is old and continues to blow.
