Video: Serena To Open 2016 With Hopman Cup Return
Serena Williams
will launch her 2016 season at the Hopman Cup in Perth—and set the stage for a major doubles return.
The world No. 1, who pulled the plug on her 2015 season following her upset loss to
Roberta Vinci
in the US Open semifinals, will partner 2014 Wimbledon doubles champion
Jack Sock
to lead Team USA.

Serena Seeks Serenity Now
The eight-team Hopman Cup is set for January 3-9th at the Perth Arena.
A year ago, Williams and John Isner reached the Hopman Cup final, falling to
Agnieszka Radwanska
and
Jerzy Janowicz
.
“Perth definitely started something quite amazing so I think it’s only natural and fair and reasonable that I go back to Perth,” said Williams. “We were so close to winning last year. I’m really excited to be back."
The 21-time Grand Slam champion's mixed doubles partnership with Sock should serve as a prelude to her Grand Slam doubles return partnering sister Venus in the Australian Open doubles. The Williams sisters are expected to join forces in Grand Slam doubles competition as part of their preparation for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
“For me the Hopman Cup is super great preparation for the Australian Open," Serena said. "In 2016 I want to play doubles in Australia so it will be really exciting for me to get there, play some doubles and get some little experience at the Hopman Cup.”
