With the pending release of ‘Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors.’ which is the biography of Meghan Markle written by Tom Bower, Sam Kashner took an interview of Meghan where she mentioned Serena Williams as one of her friends and after reaching out to everyone that Meghan mentioned as friends, Williams denied being friends with her and said that she is merely an acquaintance.

Williams said, “You’ve got to be who you are, Meghan. You can’t hide,” Williams made her comeback last month at Eastbourne after receiving a wildcard for the women’s doubles tournament, the American had Ons Jabuer from Tunisia as her partner. Both of them reached the semi-finals of the tournament but had to give a walkover to Aleksandra Krunic and Magda Linette after Jabeur suffered an injury.

Williams will now be playing the National Bank Open where she last played in 2019 but had to retire at the final against Bianca Andreescu due to a back injury, if she is able to stay injury free, she has a solid chance of going all the way at this tournament given that she is focused until the end.
