"I see myself doing it all if it happens," Williams said when asked about her schedule during a virtual press conference. Williams revealed that she had been practicing on her own court, built with the same hardcout surface used at the US Open. The tennis court is fun, I go there and it is my own sanctuary. Williams, who is also scheduled to play the Western and Southern Open tune-up event in New York before the US Open, admitted that only tournament play would allow her to properly gauge her fitness. "That is just looking too far ahead, I don't know if Tokyo plans to be in Tokyo, we will have to wait and see," she said.
