Preparations for the US Open: Serena Williams will take part in a 1000 tournament in Toronto at the beginning of August, as the organizer announced on Twitter.

Disappointing Wimbledon comeback: Williams had returned to Wimbledon after a 12-month break, but failed in the first round to Harmony Tan. She then made her US Open plans public.
Anticipation and motivation before the US Open: The 23-time Grand Slam winner is looking forward to the tournament in New York: “When you’re at home, especially in New York and at the US Open, the place where I winning a Grand Slam title for the first time is something very special.
