Serena Williams has responded to a challenge laid down to her by Roger Federer, in which the Swiss great asked the WTA legend to show off her volleying skills.
Not only did the 23-time Grand Slam winner respond, she did so with a very special racquet – one signed by Federer at the Hopman Cup.
But while Serena was responded to a Federer challenge, Catherine McNally was busy setting her own by showcasing her tweener talents.

Sloane Stephens and partner Jozy Altidore, meanwhile, took up Andy Murray’s 100-volley challenge, with the soccer player showing that it’s not just his feet he has talent in.
