You can t bet against her - Vijay Amritraj on Serena Williams chances at the 2022 US Open

Day Two: The Championships - Wimbledon 2022 will return to the New York Major at Flushing Meadows, where she will be aiming for her 24th Grand Slam title following her heartbreaking first-round exit from the 2022 Wimbledon Championships. In light of this, former Indian tennis player and commentator Vijay Amritraj about Williams' chances at the 2022 US Open. He claimed that returning after a protracted absence isn't particularly simple, but counting her out would be a foolish choice. "Coming back after a long layoff is never easy, " Amritraj said, adding, "Even for a great champion like Serena Williams, you need some matches under her belt and that’s an important aspect. The second thing is, of course, the physical ability. Does she feel fit enough to win seven matches on a hard court in the US… and that’s not easy and it can get very hot and muggy in Queens when the matches are on." "Thirdly, does she have still the mental fortitude to keep herself so closeted for the seven matches now? which she hasn’t done in a while. But only because it’s Serena Williams, you can’t bet against her,” he added further. The US Open begins on August 29. Poll : Who will win the 2022 ATP finals?
