The mind-blowing video comes in the wake of the preparations for the US Open which would be missing some top players due to the novel coronavirus.

Presently, Serena is getting prepared to cop her 24th Grand Slam title. Following the season's commencement, Serena has had five games in which she won three. She is seeded third while her elder sister, Venus is unseeded in the game.

The sisters' latest game at Top Seed Open in Kentucky set them as contenders. In the end, Serena came on top in a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 play. The 38-year-old revealed that she really fought to win the game because of her previous losses.
