Serena Williams will arrive at Roland Garros in a sea of doubts as a result of the results that the American tennis player has reaped in the last tournaments played on clay.
After losing to Nadia Podoroska in her 1,000th match on her debut at the 1,000th Masters in Rome, the American tennis player has not managed to take flight at the Emilia Romaña Open, where she started as a great favorite for the title. After winning the young Lisa Pigato in her debut, Serena fell this Tuesday in the round of 16 of the tournament against the Czech Katerina Siniakova by 7-6 (4) and 6-2.
This is Serena Williams' third loss this season, in which before Roma and the Emilia Romaña Open she lost to Naomi Osaka in the semifinals of the Australian Open. In this way, doubts about the performance of Serena grow, who at 39 still continues to pursue the dream of equaling the 24 Grand Slam of Margaret Court.
Serena's next challenge is reach this milestone at Roland Garros. However, his performances on clay cast doubt on how he will play in Paris, where Serena will try to silence the critics who have recently called for her withdrawal.
