The game, also available at SerenaMatchPoint.com, features 22 levels, each representing a Grand Slam final match that Williams won. So in honor of her ongoing mind-boggling ability to slay on the court – and the start of the 2016 U.S. Open on Monday – Gatorade partnered with Serena to release a brand-new interactive game on Snapchat, an app with which the tennis champ and social media star is no stranger.

Williams will need to be at her best during her first-round match against Makarova, a Russian now ranked 29th but as high as eighth a year ago and who has beaten the American once in their five meetings.
“I’m OK with it”, Williams said. It’s a forgettable move and one that’s more marketing than gaming, but it does give us at least a glimpse into what the future of the platform could look like.
“I knew today I needed to be focused because I’ve played her”.
Seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams opens her account against Ukraine’s Kateryna Kozlova. She knows how to play big matches on big courts. It’s the kind of form she’s hoping to regain as she begins her bid for a record 23rd major title. “I’ve just got to do the best I can”.
