Hey Serena, what’s your next move?

I expect Serena will show up at one HC warmup to either play singles or doubs and then ask for a WC to USO. But she'll wait until right before the warmup starts to announce it.

Serena is on the player list for Toronto.Lets see if she turns up and plays.

Lets see if she plays, quite frankly she cannot just turn up at the USO without playing a pre tournament.

Well Serena just posted and commented while Venus was practicing. Hopefully, that means they both are playing. It would be nice to see them play doubles together.
