The Los Angeles native on Wednesday posted to her Instagram page a clip showcasing two different versions of herself playing tennis against each other.

Serena Williams, however, like many other people, has been dealing with anxiety from the whole global pandemic situation.

In the video, Williams has on a different outfit for each version of herself. One is in a white sleeves tennis dress with white shoes while the other is in a red top with a pink skirt and the same white shoes.

The Instagram video, which Daily Mail described as clever, featured each version of her rally back and forth, swinging the racket hard at the ball until the incarnation of the tennis star clad in the white tennis outfit dives to hit the ball and misses.

At the end of the clip, the look-alike competitors retreated to lounge chairs, as the victor in red told her opponent,

'You're tough,' after collapsing into a lounge chair to which the version of Serena clad in white answered, 'You're not so bad yourself.'

In the caption, the 38-year-old tennis pro wrote: 'incredible rally and practice match.' She also credited herself as the writer, director, producer, and star actor of the simulated duel.

It would be recalled that the Tennis star earlier announced that she would be self-isolating with her family as a precaution against COVID-19.

According to CBS Sports, Williams had taken to her Instagram page to mention that she would be spending six weeks alone with her husband, Alexis Ohanian, and 2-year-old daughter, Olympia. It is understandable why Williams will decide to quarantine for that long.

As someone who has had serious health scares in recent years, the mother of one must take precautions as people with pre-existing medical conditions are said to be at higher risk of developing severe symptoms.

Earlier this month, however, the Tennis Athlete found time to go for a bike ride in her Palm Beach Gardens neighborhood, which she captured on her Instastory.

On the trip, as reported by Miami Herald, Serena noticed a suspicious mass in a pond. As she tried to figure out what it was, she kept to her social-distancing rule. In the end, the object turned out to be an alligator.

It might seem like a lot of exciting events are happening to the star athlete despite self-isolation. Serena Williams, however, like many other people, has been dealing with anxiety from the whole global pandemic situation.

CBS Sports reports that the tennis superstar uploaded a TikTok video to share how stressed she and her daughter have been a few days after they decided to self-quarantine.
