VIDEO: Serena Williams makes surprise visit to Toronto ball kids

Serena Williams has been in Toronto for a few days and the American elected to surprise the ball kids working hard at the event.

Following the defeat of Venus Williams in the first round of the Washington tournament, she and Serena left for Toronto to prepare early for the event. Both of them were in Washington for several days as they prepared for the continuation of the season.

The younger Williams took some time out of her schedule to pay a visit to ball kids working at the event. The kids were shocked when they saw who walked out and the American legend spent some time with them.

Williams will compete in the event for the first time since making her comeback at Wimbledon earlier this year. The last time she played at the event was in 2019 when she reached the final and lost to Bianca Andreescu. Only a couple of weeks later she would do the same at the US Open.

The 2022 US Open is her target this year as well but she will try to avoid the Wimbledon mistakes. She will play a couple of events leading up to it to get in better shape.
