Within the game itself players compete as Williams and progress to the next level when the opposition fails to return a shot. 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.
