World number 1, Serena
Williams, will launch her 2016 season at the Hopman Cup in Australia.
Serena reached the
final of the mixed team event in 2014 with American compatriot, John Isnerto,
kicking off a superb season where she won the Australian, French Open and
Wimbledon, to take her Grand Slam singles haul to 21.
Williams has not played
since her shocking semifinal defeat to Italian Roberto Vinci at the US Open in
September which ended her bid for a rare calendar Grand Slam.
She pulled out of two
events in China earlier in October, as well as the WTA finals in Singapore,
citing the need to rest after a year spent carrying injuries.
Williams will be joined
in the January 3-9 Hopman Cup field by Briton, Andy Murray and controversial
Australian, Nick Kyrgios.
